Thanks.
It has been 2 days now, and the package is still showed as NON-security on the machine even though I have updated the package list just now.
No matter what possible technical explanations are, from a system administrator's perspective, it is a bug if a security update is marked as non-security for over 2 days.
Thus, please re-open the issue. Also, please be so kind to fix this soon: I have taken the machine out of production just so I can help you with fixing the issue. I *need* the machine for work, so it would be nice if this situation could be resolved soon.
(Also, please notice that even the idea you described of spreading the packages as non-security just for a few hours might be bogus: Admins use tools such as apticron to get notified by mail about package updates. While I have not verified that, it seems probable that those tools will just check the version and not send out another mail for the same version. So when you get the first mail about it NOT being a security update, another one will likely not be sent once it changes to security. Then the administrator will not install the update any soon because he thinks it's not security relevant.)
