I'm not familiar enough with this package to tell, but if that does
what you want, yes, I suppose it would be better.
Beware, however, that in a future there might be a file named
security-support-ended.deb10 and the sort could not work as expected.
If the release is for jessie, I would try to keep it simple:
DEBIAN_VERSION = 8
Isn't this why we have branches in git repositories?
Thanks.
