BTW there's a double-edged sword here: the testing and unstable releases
might not have the security patches (whereas the stable releases would).
On the other hand, the testing/unstable versions might be sufficiently
recent that they subsume the security patches anyway. (If you're an
systems admin, you probably don't need to be told this, but it might
make a difference if you're "just" a home user.)
