Hi Mark,

that's good additional information. It's not as vague as the info I
provided:

"Universe

 [...] Canonical does not provide a guarantee of regular security
 updates for software in the universe component, but will provide these
 where they are made available by the community. Users should understand
 the risk inherent in using these packages. Popular or well supported
 pieces of software will move from universe into main if they are backed
 by maintainers willing to meet the standards set by the Ubuntu team.  
[...]"

The xubuntu-core package is provided by the "Universe" repository.
