[Secure-testing-team] iceape holes: DSA vs. tracker

Hi!

It seems to me that the security bug tracker[1] is inconsistent with DSA
1300-1...

The DSA[2] states that six iceape vulnerabilities are:

 * unfixed in sarge
 * fixed by version 1.0.9-0etch1 in etch
 * still unfixed in sid

The tracker seems to disagree, though. Out of six vulnerabilities,
one[3] is claimed to be "not known to" affect Debian (with a note that
says "check"), another[4] is claimed to be NOT-FOR-US ("No practical
security implications"), and the remaining four[5][6][7][8] are claimed
to affect sarge, etch, etch (security), lenny, and sid.

The tracker seems to correctly know which versions are in which Debian
branch, hence I don't think that the problem lies in delayed fetch of
Packages.gz...

What's wrong?
