The archive side of the point release has now finished. A slightly later than usual scheduled archive update is now running, after which the updates will start appearing on mirrors.

I am not even sure we can move DSAs into archive seperatly without breaking the GPG signature of the Release file.

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.

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.
