I noticed a Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1tgi10a/houston_we_have_a_problem/) where a user ended up adding stable-security to a bookworm installation after reading https://security.debian.org/debian-security/README.security. At the time of writing, bookworm is oldstable, so this didn't go so well. This could be improved. We could perhaps say something like: If you are using apt you can use this entry in /etc/apt/sources.list, replacing "<codename>" with the codename of the Debian release you're using (e.g. trixie): deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security <codename>-security main We could also consider advising people to use the newer deb822 format instead.
