Some of the mirrors are mirroring security already. Take one of my
home mirrors for example: ftp.kulent.kuleuven.ac.be, they have a
debian-security directory that, upon inspection, looks like real
security.
No, I don't use it as security since it's unofficial. I suspect
however it is their own way of apt-proxying security for themselves
(they have a lot of hosts afaik).
If this was made official in some way I'd be more then happy to use a
mirror.
