The general situation is described in the Debian security FAQ: | Q: How is security handled for testing and unstable? | | A: The short answer is: it's not. [...] However, more or less shortly before a new stable release the security infrastructure for this new release will be set up, and at some point will start to be used properly. The former has already happened, the latter hasn't yet, though. About the documentation: this security repository will be announced once it is fully functional. Before this happens there is no need to advertise or use it. > Also, I can't seem to find any info about security updates for the > non-us repositories.
