=46rom <http://release.debian.org/>:
	Suite update policy
	stable
		Fast response for security updates.  Minor updates include security=20
and other important fixes only.  Major updates are sourced from testing, an=
d=20
are infrequent, but large.

Major updates is something like Lenny -> Squeeze.  Minor Update is somethin=
g=20
like 6.0.0 -> 6.0.1 a.k.a. a "point release" where the codename does not=20
change.

o=20
bug severities, but one of those severities is called "important" so FYI:=20
