> It appears there has been precisely one security SRU of botan1.10
ever, in Ubuntu 14.04. So what difference does a lack of upstream
security support make to the releasability of this package in 18.04?

I think there's a difference between lack of human resources to do these
updates versus updates that can be done. I personally see it to be
unwise to ship a package in an LTS which will be deprecated by the end
of the year and is only used by leaf packages and already EOL software.
