It's now:
The Debian project has updated the stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux
3.1 (codename `sarge'). This update mainly adds security updates to the
stable release, along with a few corrections to serious problems. Those
who frequently update from security.debian.org won't have to update many
packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this
update.

It's now:
Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian
GNU/Linux 3.1 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no
need to throw away 3.1 CDs. Instead you only need to update against
ftp.debian.org or a mirror after an installation, in order to incorporate
those changes. New CD and DVD images are being built right now and will
be available soon at the regular locations.

It's now:
In order to make available updated Linux kernel packages in the Debian
installer it had to be updated as well. To accomplish this the following
packages also required an update: base-config, base-installer,
debian-installer, preseed.

Why is a link to the DSA index page not sufficient?

Ah, sorry, that's a cut'n'waste error, removed.
