A bit scary but I understand ubuntu probably don't have the resource to watch all those packages all the time for verifying/backporting/testing etc.

As far as security goes, Ubuntu really should work together with Debian to leverage each other to better the situation. My sites run either LTS or Debian and now I'm more worried.

Not so much actual worry. Such panic articles appear regularly.

If you stick with official packages, you are fine. It is the front-facing services that are important, and these are updated for security issues.

I ran those checks and most problematic packages are related to ruby, as I ran redmine which uses Ruby.
