Bug#93057: apt_prefs.5: inexact description of "new releases"



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: minor

the manpage currently reads: 

 Typical Debian release num- bers look like 2.1r2 with the r designating the
 release of 2.1. New releases are limited to secu- rity updates.

Saying "are mostly limited to" would be more exact.  As an example look at
console-apt being introduced in 2.2r1 or r2, as well as mozilla upgrades.
