I guess this is rather a plain formality than an endorsement by the
project that this release is an up-to-date version of etch (say as far
as security is concerned). Maybe this should be pointed out more clearly
in order to avoid misunderstandings.

Cheers,

Depending on your definition of up-to-date, it's arguably both.

There hasn't been a point release for oldstable for some time. This update
includes the security updates for which DSAs were issued in the several
months prior to security support ceasing in February, together with a
number of other updates to packages; see
http://release.debian.org/proposed-updates/oldstable.html for a complete
list.

Regards,

Adam

before moving etch to archive.debian.org, it makes sense to integrate
all pending DSAs into an point release. I am not even sure we can move
DSAs into archive seperatly without breaking the GPG signature of the
Release file.

Cheers,
Martin
