I'm not sure who the authoritive team is here, Releases was kind of silently introduced without any public discussions as far as I remember. > apt-get install x -t stable > instead it would have to be > apt-get install x -t potato They are basically the same thing. Apt should have a way to add an alias, but using `stable' feels very wrong to me. > Then if you gave 2.2r2 the higher priority (in /etc/apt/preferences), > it would not install the security fixes, because the security fixes > are 2.2. Might as well make it 2.2r666 then? I'm not going to change that version every time a new stable pointrelease is made, they are not that related. There simply are now versions of security, there is just a set of packages for a Debian release (like potato).
