We pretty much have to send all updates to the same suite, since some
people may not have -updates enabled, and we'd end up breaking their
setups.  This precedent has been set in the past (for instance, enigmail
updates to match new mozilla/thunderbird in -security).  If you
need/want my help getting lrm updated, ping me on IRC (tomorrow, I'm
about to go back to bed and nurse my cold some more)
