Why would that be preferable? It seems to me that uploading straight to
ftp-master is the most direct way to resolve the issue, because the issue
is that the package is not on ftp-master. What advantage is there to go
through security-master? It only seems extra noise on the
debian-security-announce list, and I'm still missing the technical
advantage of that.
