Hi,

As you all know releasing Squeeze isn't the end of the story.
Following up on our earlier call for help [1] we're happy to announce
that Jonathan Wiltshire will be coordinating security fixes for stable
point updates:

Quoting from our latest bits:
| Since a couple of years we've been handing off security issues of
| minor or theoretical impact but for which a fix would be desirable
| at some point, like certain classes of denial-of-service attacks,
| off to stable point updates.
| We're looking for a person that wants to coordinate this: monitor the
| Security Tracker for issues classified as such by the Security Team,
| converse with maintainers to get such updates done and coordinate 
| with the stable release managers on this.

On behalf of the Debian Security Team,

        Moritz
