on semi related note...

is there any reason that security.debian.org is not added to the apt
sources.list by default?  has this ever been considered?  

I think this would be a good idea since it would ensure that new
installs of debian automatically have existing security fixes
installed immediately.  this would eliminate the usual install then
patch process of most distributions. 

comments?
