APT Sources.list Line Format for Security Updates - Documentation Discrepancy

[Gregory McPherran <GMcPherran@outlook.com>]

Hi,

This shows the new security line form as:

DebianBullseye - Debian Wiki

deb      http://security.debian.org/debian-security       bullseye-security        main

This shows the new security line form as:

sources.list(5) — apt — Debian unstable — Debian Manpages

deb      http://security.debian.org                                     bullseye-security        main

Is one of    "http://security.debian.org/debian-security"    or   "http://security.debian.org"   the correct format ?

Or is the "debian-security" portion optional ?

Thank you,
Greg McPherran
