Security updates to sid are posted to the main repository. Note, however, that they are done by the package maintainers, NOT the security team (as a rule. Exceptions might happen). Therefore, they may be less timely than the security updates done to stable. > track the "security" site in unstable (sid)? Yes, it is better that you do. Sometimes, the security updates for stable are good for unstable too and arrive earlier. Of course, by tracking the stable security tree, you mix stable and unstable, therefore you MUST pay attention when installing packages or you might install stuff from stable (that are in the security repository) that are no longer in unstable. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
