Hi debian-security, I've just noticed something rather distressing. As part of my usual Debian installation I set `APT::Default-Release "stable";` which causes a change of apt priorities for packages from this release (or so I thought) from the usual 500 to 990. This is recommended in various places, but I don't recall if d-i sets this up by default or not.
It seems packages from the debian-security repository are not affected by this increased priority and will not get intalled as a result. Note: `apt-cache policy` tends to lie. I observed this by actually trying to install a kernel update from d-security that should get installed but doesn't. As soon as I remove the Default-Release line from apt.conf the update gets offered for installation. Has anyone else observed this or is something broken in my apt config somewhere? --Daniel
