Speaking as a member of the SRU Team as well, I don't actually see evidence of this. There has been a run of SRUs right at the time of the mantic release, related to release upgrades; and there was also a recent Lubuntu SRU to lunar to fix *notifications* for release upgrades; but I can't think of any other examples in the past few years. This might be because it happened that all of them were processed by other members of the SRU Team, but that's statistically unlikely. From my perspective, SRUs of core packages in main are much more common. Can you point to something I've missed showing that flavor package SRUs are happening? (I think this is very relevant to the question of LTS qualification, because demonstrating a track record of active maintenance of the stable release of a flavor goes a long way to establishing that the flavor team is delivering something that meets users' needs for an LTS.) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
