Dear Maintainer, apt's manpages contain references to APT::Default-Release which give wrong advice on how to set it in light of the changes to the debian-security repo Codename as of bullseye[1]: Setting APT::Default-Release to a plain codename such as "stable" or "bookworm" will have the disastrous consequence of preventing security updates from bein considered when upgrading. [1]: https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#security-archive Please update any Default-Release references with the advice from the bullseye release-notes at [1]. Thanks, --Daniel PS: I think this change of debian-security Codename was a collossal mistake and I'm looking into getting this fixed properly by changing the codename to $codename/security but the updated advice should be safe in the face of that change.
