Re: Security updates for wheezy breaking my FAI-installation

I linked a wiki page in my previous email describing precisely
what wheezy-updates is (and it is NOT the regular security
update repository): https://wiki.debian.org/StableUpdates
Yes, i read that:
* Since it mentions things like updates to virus scanners, it
seemed
plausible to me that it was indeed the same repo. If, as you
assert, it's not, then i think it's concerning that there are
/two/ distinct repos one needs to enable in order to get all
relevant security updates.
* The page doesn't explain if 'wheezy-updates' is distinct from
'wheezy-backports', and if so, again, why there are two repos
apparently addressing the same issue. (To wit, how to get more
recent versions of packages than were released with stable.)
* The phrase "When a new package is made available via
wheezy-updates"
is ambiguous to me; it can be read as either "a new package
[that wasn't included in the initial release of wheezy]", or "a
new [version of a] package [that was included in the initial
release of wheezy]".
So, no, from my perspective, that page does /not/ describe
"precisely what wheezy-updates is".
