security layout is from before apt as far as I know, and apt when I
last looked has some dirty workaround because of that. Perhaps
apt invented some new sheme so security fits into this, though.

Well, in apt/sources.list the distribution you usually put is
etch/updates and the codename in main. Bending this forward and backward
till it fits seems a bit strange.

Hm, that must have changed (though already some time ago).
Looks like apt was changed to the inconsistent naming of security instead
of the other way around... Sigh...
Looks like I have to read apt's source again to find out how to work
around this...
