It seems to me that Florian is talking about the rare GPL violations
that Debian (and other distros) commit and keeping those secret until
they can be rectified. These happen (and are sometimes caused by
upstreams like the GNU project). ISTR in the past we have just
rectified the issues and ignored the fact that we lost our rights
under GPLv2.
