Bug#1012174: Inconsistent advice wrt security archive



Package: www.debian.org,release-notes
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: team@security.debian.org

Hi teams,

The [errata] advises one to use 

  deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free

while the [release-notes] advises

  deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib

Even if both will have the same result (the last time a non-free package
was uploaded to the security archive may have been during Etch), having
two different official advice makes it difficult in some situation
(“what should we actually use?”). Is the use of HTTPS via deb.d.o
preferable over HTTP via security.d.o? If so maybe the errata should be
updated, if it’s the other way around, the realease-notes should be
updated.

  errata: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/errata#security
  release-notes: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-information#security-archive

Regards

David
