    It is easy to find the answer, it is well known, but the answer that
    debian gives is not really acceptable given all of the emperical data
    about the security of updated glibc implementations . The stubborn
    position of Debian is really undefensible, even with an faq. If i
    don't make my opinion known then they will continue to be subborn, at
    least now they can be stubborn and know that there decision has impact
    on real people trying to support their software.
