While it is unusual, the changes to the script should not break
current usages. Remember that for the regular security support there
is as well times were we dual support two suites, but in some cases
you will want to issue a DSA only for oldstable, or only for stable,
and then you would pass an empty version to the question for th
respective suite, and the data/DSA/list entry will be generated
correctly (and the template generated cleaned up manually later when
writing the DSA, anyway one needs to work carefully when doing DSA
releases, as this is on "critical path" to our users fetching security
updates, while doing errors is human, so we do, but hopefully seldom
enough to not scary our users).

So the current behaviour of the script is more or less already fine
and cover those cases mentioned above well enough IMHO.

What still can be done is to have a check which make some sanity
checks on CVE and source package association and *warn* if something
is suspicious.

Regards,
Salvatore
