(ahem...) > You don't spell "Security support" as "p, a, t, c, h, e, s" more below. What the...? Patches encompass security fixes and more!

Uh? Yes, of course (well not "all" but those that solve security flaws and serious problems). I'm afraid I don't follow you... > You do realise that added features come as patches but are not > backported don't you? Yes, I definitely don't follow you. Let's recap to avoid further confusion: 1/ Debian stable branches don't receive new kernel releases from the usual repositories but they can be obtained from backports. 2/ Debian stable branches do receive kernel upgrades in form of security fixes and patches. 3/ That said, you'll never find kernel 3.x branch hitting the security repository for Squeeze.
