Thanks.
It has been 2 days now, and the package is still showed as NON-security on the 
machine even though I have updated the package list just now.
No matter what possible technical explanations are, from a system 
administrator's perspective, it is a bug if a security update is marked as 
non-security for over 2 days.
Thus, please re-open the issue. Also, please be so kind to fix this soon: I 
have taken the machine out of production just so I can help you with fixing the 
issue. I *need* the machine for work, so it would be nice if this situation 
could be resolved soon.


(Also, please notice that even the idea you described of spreading the packages 
as non-security just for a few hours might be bogus: Admins use tools such as 
apticron to get notified by mail about package updates. While I have not 
verified that, it seems probable that those tools will just check the version 
and not send out another mail for the same version. So when you get the first 
mail about it NOT being a security update, another one will likely not be sent 
once it changes to security. Then the administrator will not install the update 
any soon because he thinks it's not security relevant.)
