I've several times (long before trixie) encountered situations (mostly
involving package rebuilds) where -security has an implicit dependency
on packages from -updates, and if I forget to include -updates in my apt
sources then things break.  I've never reported it, since it hasn't been
clear to me if this is a bug or not.

If we could decouple them, and say that -security must work without
-updates, that would be fine too, but I assume that is difficult, and it
is simpler to document that the reverse as an assumption.
