I'm filing this as a bug in the debian-faq package, so that it won't get lost. Indeed it's not completely obvious to everybody which entries to use in sources.list under which circumstances; I've heard more people asking about this. However, I don't know all details myself either, and unfortunately don't have the time to do this research now. Do you maybe have the time to come up with a suggested text to put in e.g. the FAQ? Thanks anyway! Bye, Joost
