I'd guess that as soon as the respective vendor issues an update, the security team from Debian will as usual be amongst the fastest to deploy it :-)
My thread/bug though was more about how to deal with upstreams which typically react too slow (well at least in my opinion :) ), and how to keep track and deal with those, for which it's unknown whether upstream takes an eye on crypto developments at all (e.g. the small libraries and Perl/Python/etc. modules coming to my mind).
