Just to be clear, I want to announce this via debian-lts-announce but not associate it to any DLA number because DLA means "a security issue has been fixed" which is not the case here. (BTW I'm not sure if it means "Debian LTS Advisory" or "Debian LTS Announce") And there are bots handling DLA to auto-publish news about possible security issues... for example on lwn.net. And I don't think this is appropriate. > Or, alternativly, why not include the news about these packages being also > updated in the DLA for the mysql-5.5 update? We could do that, I just fear that there will a delay between the uploads of the fixed packages and the final upload of mysql-5.5 and we will get questions before then...
