No, essentially I was thinking about a sample sources.list which already
contained stuff like security.debian.org, not only the bare bones example
that comes with apt -- how many newbies will take months to notice that
there is a simple possibility to automate (more or less) security fixes via
apt, because they first need to find out about security.debian.org and then
to have the idea of creating an apt-line for it?
