Some statements on debian.org/security are inaccurate, and many people are 
misled by them.

I propose replacing

"""
Debian takes security very seriously. We handle all security problems brought 
to our attention and ensure that they are corrected within a reasonable 
timeframe.
"""

with something more factual, like

"""
Debian's security updates are created by volunteers working in their spare 
time. Some packages may receive more attention than others. To view the current 
list of known unfixed vulnerabilities see 
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/stable
"""

(Side note: It seems that NVD tends to assign "medium" severity to 
vulnerabilities initially, but upgrades them to "high" or "critical" later. 
However, Debian keeps showing the initial severity rating)
