How (un)safe would Debian be when only using the security.debian.org repository?



Hi!

How (un)safe would it be...? When using Debian while...

Not using:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free

Only using:
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free

Does that change when using testing instead of stable? I.e...

Not using:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main contrib non-free

Only using:
deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main contrib non-free

Or the same question in other words: are sometimes updates fixing
security issues released though repositories other than the security
repository?

Why would someone interested in doing that? Getting fewer updates,
saving bandwidth, time and system load.

Cheers,
