You can add a wishlist bug for it.

I don't think so. Without explicitly checking all the patches, but
debian usually backports security relevant patches to the stable
distribution.

If you find a unfixed security bug you can create a bugreport with sever
severity.

Especially if you care about security, you will not use some random
debian repository. There are only two alternatives:
1. Using the debian one which might not be the newest version but they
care about security
2. Using a self compiled version with the back draw that you have to
care about the security by yourself.
