This does not really fit into the current implementation of the 
script. I would have to keep track of which fixes have already been 
announced, and I would have to keep quite a lot of old package files 
around. Maybe I will find a more elegant solution later...

I think we can use the current script for the time being, and add 
handling of "retroactive" fixes later.

An example mail will be sent to secure-testing-team later, so that you 
can fix all the typos ;-)
