    Hi,
    I noticed that newer security snapshots do not have entries for s390x or
    ppc64le anymore.
    ex: [1]https://security.debian.org/dists/buster/updates/main/

    I'm trying to adjust some logic in an updater in distroless
    ([2]github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless) to handle this properly.

    Is this because:
    1. There are no current security updates for s390x/ppc64le (all have been
    merged into main?)
    2. s390x/ppcle64 is no longer supported with security updates on debian10?
    3. something else?
    When these indexes were previously resolved newer versions of some
    packages were available (ex: openssl 1.1.1n-0+deb10u3 (security) vs
    1.1.1n-0+debu10u1 (main))
    Thanks!

    The answer is essentially #2. See the wiki [0] for details. Note that
    your query is more appropriate for a user-focused list, rather than this
    list which is about non-technical project matters.
