Well, in so far that with CDs that include base you will also get 
non-security updates if you selected a mirror, but that's only really 
relevant when installing testing.

The security part of it is still valid for every installation method and 
IMO to the exact same extend [1].

I still feel the changelog could be more precise about this.

The Template: pkgsel/upgrade seems to be missing a Default.

[1] OK, if you're using an r0 CD while current stable is r4, there clearly 
is a difference between installing base from CD or mirror; same for older 
testing CDs.
