I think the idea of Testing is incompatible with security upgrades only. That is where Stable comes in. There is the testing updates security archive: deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free But I think it relies upon being an overlay for the main archive. Not sure though. But I don't think you can get away with just that sources.list line only. As an idea you might be able to make use of apt-show-versions output to make selections. But I have little hope of true success there. apt-show-versions Bob
