What are the track records of the claim?

I'm sure Ubuntu will patch stuff up if some vulnerability shows up outside of main that gets patched upstream or elsewhere.

I claim no deep expertise on this, but for a distribution of 56k packages, this looks quite good https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/s...

To anyone here who's worked secops and has to track these things, I'm really interested to hear opinions about how well Debian follows up on this
