Duly noted, I've updated the status on our side (dla-needed.txt) to
reflect this new situation.

I don't have time to help you myself right now, but hopefully someone
from the LTS with free cycles could give you a hand this week,

I do believe that some issues could be marked as no-dsa by the
LTS/security team, for example.

Thanks so much for the update!
