NO ! This is Debian and one quality is: you can update Debian very nice And with this hack, you throw away this quality! there is only one solution: throw away this new rubbish debian-secure ! If you need a specal debian Package file with signatures and other features, use Packages.gpg or Packages_new_features or ... But don't make this new sub-dir and kill a nice quality from debian.
