Sorry I think there was a missunderstanding here, I by no means
implied bad faith or that at the time of the buster release it was
known. I probably wrote the above too short to make it clear. Let me
expand a bit.

While I was filling bug for the new CVEs reported for janus I stumpled
over #946412 and that made me think to reply there and raise the
question on the removal of janus from buster. What I actually wanted
to ask with the above is "should janus be removed from buster as
ideally it would not have been released with it" but not implying the
situation was already clear at that time.

Sorry if that all was not clear in my wording.

Thanks for filling the removal, taken note of #962694.

Regards,
Salvatore
