Debian apt sources vs. Ubuntu apt sources (answer an a question)

[Benjamin Edwards]

That is correct, they should not be mixed.  There is however a remarked out source refured to as universe.  This allowes you to use 'unsurorted' packages and includes some not even it the debian tree.

What I am not sure about is how this affects securety patches and the state of flux in universe.  So if I use universe will I get securety (or eny other patches) and is univers more like debian testing (with most working most of the time) or unstable (whitch is a bit more exiting/my the seat of your pants.
