Description-en: Debian security support coverage checker
For some Debian packages, it is not feasible to maintain full security
support for all use cases through the full distribution release
cycle.
.
This package provides a program to identify installed packages for
which support has had to be limited or prematurely ended, and to
alert the administrator.
.
New versions of this package with updated checklists will be provided
via standard and/or extended security support.
