Hello Debian maintainers,

I have a few questions regarding the debian project and I will be glad for
some answers:

1. regarding the release management - from a quick scanning of the release
I have noticed that are 6 release types:
jessie
jessie-security
stretch - security
buster
bullseye
sid

I would like to ask what is the difference between each release (what
actually each release means), can different releases may obtain the same
version (i.e sid -7.4.1 and buster-7.4.1 is possible?)

2. stable vs. unstable suite- meaning and difference?

3. regarding the security tracker (
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/)
the different pages in tracker refers to different vulnerability types I
will be glad to understand what each page refers to since I don't fully
understand from the description.

4. is there one specific debian host that holds all debian packages? if not
is there a debian host for debian packages that are listed in the security
tracker?

Thank you!
