Careful ... as I understand it, Woody does _NOT_ get security updates. If there is a
security fix it gets posted to Sid, and after 2 weeks of non-critical bugs it migrates
into testing/Woody. If you are depending on security.debian.org for Woody
security updates, be wary. I believe I have seen Wichert Akkerman state on
this mailing list that he is currently using the Woody section of
security.debian.org to do some testing for the future.
happy hacking,
