Hi.

Having to set a fixed suite in debsecan’s config is rather error prone.
Imagine one manages dozens of Debian boxes, maybe even with different
suites.

It would be nice if a setting like SUITE=auto uses /etc/debian_version or
something similar to automatically detect the "current" suite.

Cheers,
Chris.

btw: And imho it would be nice to support unstable, stable testing and olstable
as names.

Hi,

upgrading from wheezy to jessie I had to look a while to figure out what
the source was of my daily security updates, having forgotten about
debsecan being installed a long while ago. In lieu of this wishlist, maybe
add something like "Generated by debsecan" to the emails, possibly as a
header if the email format shouldn't change?

Thx,
Frederik Vanrenterghem
