Hi, Thank you all (with delay) for your answers.

Debian Wiki contains an instructive diagram: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases So to answer my own question, I think indeed that all the new packages I saw on my screen were those of stable-proposed-updates discharged into stable (that were not security packages nor urgent ones) + maybe some latest packages from stable/updates and stable-updates that were just released around the same time. 12 mai 2020 à 09:25 de andreimpope...@gmail.com: > Nothing unusual.
