This is not exactly correct. The bullseye-updates suite should be used by almost all users. The only suite where you are really a beta tester for the next point release is bullseye-proposed-updates. The other two suites recieve only very important updates: bullseye: read-only except during point releases bullseye-security: receives security updates regularly bullseye-updates: receives occasional time-sensitive and important updates, such as updates to the timezone database, which often happen just days before the timezone changes, or fixes for packages that get completely broken by some external services on the Internet, or fixes for packages that were initially broken but that wasn't found. There are only three updates in it currently, two of them are updates to the timezone database and one is clamav, which sometimes needs updates so it can continue to pull in antivirus detections. https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye-updates/main/source/Sources.xz bullseye-proposed-updates: the contents of the next point release; some changes come from bullseye-security, some from bullseye-updates and some from package maintainers. https://release.debian.org/proposed-updates/stable.html -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
