My sources.list line says:
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
That was put there by the installer, who calls itself "cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.6 _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20120930-15:53]/ squeeze main".
Martin Krafft, in his book "The Debian System", suggests:
deb http://security.debian.org sarge/updates main contrib non-free
Both Martin and the installer ought to know, but they don't say quite the same thing -- note the '/' (or lack thereof) after debian.org...
Does anyone know for sure what's going on? Is there maybe a bug in one of the apt programs that concatenates stings incorrectly (so the '/' makes a difference)? Has something changed since sarge?
