I like your suggestion, this is a good opportunity to link some
documentation explaining a little bit of how updates are done for
stable releases.

I would be reluctant to add any reference to the wiki at all because
it has some ip addresses blacklisted and I remember having multiple
cases of Brazilian users being unable to access it because they were
under a blacklisted shared public ip.
The debian-reference[0] seems like a good thing to point to instead,
although not explaining "-updates" as well as the wiki, maybe that
could be changed,

What are your thoughts?
