Comment 34 for bug 461864

Since 1.1.17 is the current package for Ubuntu and all projects derived from it, I don't think it should be removed, but the 2.0.x series of released could be offered as well through the packaging system as an optional testing package in unsupported or unofficially supported status.

This would still allow 1.1.17 to be the official Ubuntu release, but allow users the option to try out 2.0.4 without official support.

Does anyone know what security issues were fixed between 1.1.17 and 2.0.4?
