It was pointed out that I used the wrong list and that
debian-security at l.d.o is not actually the correct list to contact the
debian security team. So apologies for that.

I've added team at security.debian.org now and will drop
debian-security at lists.debian.org on further replies.

Dear security team, I'd appreciate your input on bug #839607
