I see I made an error in my paragraph above.  I meant to say something
in between Testing+Security and Stable+Backports+Security (though as
has been said, you can't apply Security patches to Testing.)

Huh, I did not know that this is what Ubuntu was based on.  I always
thought the 6-month releases were based on the dot releases of Debian.

Maybe I should consider moving to Ubuntu Server?  Hmm, that sounds
like a nightmare waiting to happen.
