Security updates for stable are posted on security.debian.org and should be
availiable about the same time that unstable's holes are fixed.
Potato is based on glibc2.1. Slink is glibc2.0... so from what I've read
on many other posts here, it's a BadIdea(tm) to try and mix these due
to the different glibc dependencies.
