Er, standard if you happen to live in Germany. (That's one reason you'd want to clean up the file.) I should have added: If you converge to the testing branch, beware of the hole in _automated_ security-fix coverage: 1. You don't necessarily receive the Debian Security Team's security-fix packages (because your installed package version numbers might be later than the ones they release), and therefore don't have the "stable" branch's Security Team coverage. 2. Because of the automated quarantining scripts, you won't necessarily _immediately_ automatically receive security-fix releases from the package maintainer, either. (You would after quarantining, though.) Therefore, people on the testing branch should (more than others) stay subscribed to the Security Team's "debian-security-announce" alert mailing list, and not just rely on apt-get doing the right thing automatically. -- Cheers, "Linux means never having to delete your love mail."
