That sounds good to me in spirit, however, I'd like it to have some
operational instructions. Can we add a sentence like

  This generally means to update all binary packages which are built
  from the affected source package.

? Since it is not even technically possible to copy just some binary
packages from -proposed to -updates, verification should always be
done that way IMHO.
