I agree. Having security come up with these test cases is almost a |
| 12 |
replica of what is trying to be avoided. As package maintainers are |
| 13 |
normally involved in the security bugs for said package, I don't think |
| 14 |
this should be a big stretch. |

Plus coming up with a test case for a security bug eases the pain when you |
| 17 |
start slapping us arch people around to bump your package to a new stable |
| 18 |
rev :) |
