[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Helping with security support for ia32-libs

[Thijs Kinkhorst]

Hi all,

At the Debian Security Team meeting in Essen we discussed the situation of
ia32-libs* and the way to best security support it for squeeze. (It's
still expected that the packages become obsolete for wheezy as I
understand.)

The conclusion is that (a) the packages need to be as up to date as
possible at time of release, and (b) we will release updates for
ia32-libs* in any point release if there are changed packages. In
emergencies we will release it in a security advisory.

To ensure we keep up with this I've volunteered to do the work for this.
This means I'll be uploading new releases of ia32-libs* on behalf of the
security team. I will usually not change anything but refresh the included
packages of course. Perhaps it makes sense for this if I'm officially
added to the maintenance team. What do you think?


Cheers,
Thijs
