The Debian security team being responsible may help you figure out who to blame, but it doesn't magically help the update actually happen. The Debian security team is a volunteer team, and it's entirely realistic that someone may actually have seen delays in the packages they care about getting security updates. "No you don't" is arrogant - you have no way of knowing that.

Actually they do. Debian does carry local patches when necessary. It will also backport patches to release in older versions which may not be updated upstream. They literally make the updates happen.

In this case, it's valid to ask - where/when did you see the issue with this working.

...and, as I recall, that got them in trouble with openssl.
