Hi,

there are three ways how security issues are fixed in Debian testing:

- a fixed package migrates from Debian unstable to testing
- a fixed package is uploaded to the testing-security archive on
  security.debian.org
- the vulnerable package is removed from testing

Up to now, Debian Security Announcement (DTSA) mails were sent for 
security fixes that were uploaded to testing-security. This drew 
special attention to a few security issues, while the majority of 
issues is fixed by migration from unstable. Therefore the old 
announcement mails will be replaced by daily summary mails that list 
all security issues that are fixed in one of the three ways listed 
above.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us.

Cheers,
Stefan
