Through update-manager you will ONLY get security fixes
(repo=e.g. breezy-security). So you probably want to install those.
Depending on your sources.list you will get also major bugfixes
(repo=breezy-updates).

After the release the repositories get "frozen" which means, no minor
changes are allowed anymore. Window-Deko is very minor.

This means the version number will be s.th. like:
befor upgrade:
x.y.z-ubuntu1

and after:
x.y.z-ubuntu2

Wich means it´s "only" a new build of the same software, but no new
version from upstream.
