I too suppose so in general. But I would like a more authoritative
answer for the specific case of Python2. And, in fact, this should be
publicly documented---in the manual or in the website, as well as the
description of the python2 package and maybe also in the description of
all python2-.* packages.

The problem is that OfflineIMAP is Internet software, and therefore, I
believe, it is important to have security support for it (including its
dependencies).
