So what you mean is that if someone finds a security flaw on any
package, the security team of Debian is informed and consequently the
maintainer of that package is informed. Then the maintainer updates the
package at woody/potato, advertises that and, at the same time, updates
the unstable version. This would mean that, in terms of solved bugs in
the *sofware* that could cause a security flaw, both woody and sid are
exactly equal. Is it that?

Thanks,

Bruno.
