I like your suggestion, this is a good opportunity to link some documentation explaining a little bit of how updates are done for stable releases. I would be reluctant to add any reference to the wiki at all because it has some ip addresses blacklisted and I remember having multiple cases of Brazilian users being unable to access it because they were under a blacklisted shared public ip. The debian-reference[0] seems like a good thing to point to instead, although not explaining "-updates" as well as the wiki, maybe that could be changed, What are your thoughts?
