a) Horst, if in your judgement TikiWiki seems "secure enough" though not

Just some remarks:
a) There is definitely secure software outside Debian.
b) Just building a Debian package does not make software secure
by default. Often projects build Debian packages for the comfort
of their users. Sometimes you can observe that these packages
are really bad and building and installing the software from scratch
might be the better option.
c) A good sign for having people who care for the security of a package
is only if a package belongs to the Debian *stable* distribution. The
unstable distribution is no target of the Debian security team (which
does not mean that single maintainers wouldn't care for the security
of their packages in unstable - but there is just no guarantee).
Kind regards
Andreas.
