Thank you, this clears up the situation. I was initially asking because I was asked what should be put into the /etc/apt/sources.list to get the security updates. I searched the web and lists and this information is nowhere to find. I can imagine that with the release, porters and ftp-masters are quite busy, but it might be good idea to create security sarge/updates repository for amd64 even if it would have empty Packages file at the beginning (btw I just checked i386 security updates and they are not empty anymore).
