yeah, exactly, that's why I suggested David to discuss this on this list.

That is not an address suited for public discussion (it aint public and there 
is no public archive), so your suggestion aint much helpful here.

Debian usually works in the open, as I understand it security@debian.org is 
for telling stuff to the Security team which aint open yet.

If debian-security@lists.debian.org should not be used to discuss security 
topics related to Debian (with and without the security team) this should be 
clarified, though I doubt this is the case.


Now if only someone could reply to the original question at hand! ;-)


cheers,
	Holger
