Proposed-updates subdir?

[Randy Edwards <redwards@golgotha.net>]

   Could someone tell me exactly what the dists/proposed-updates
subdirectory is for?

   Yes, I know it's for "proposed updates" ;-), but what for what dist?
Hamm?  Slink?  Does this subdir function as sort of a new "incoming"
type of subdir so that the files are checked and then moved into Hamm or
Slink?  Any details on what this is used for would be appreciated;
thanks in advance.
