FYI http://www.debian.org/security/faq#proposed-updates currently
explains that. Also,
http://ftp-master.debian.org/proposed-updates.html shows the status.
I worry about the status of the proposed updates. Those packages are
not always released; only packages accepted by the Stable Release
Manager are released and other packages will be dropped. So, IMHO
those packages should not be recommended, unlike security updates.
Enough explanation will be required.
Many thanks,
