well, that is clear. I know that security-fixes are only released into
the ${releasename}-security repository. But my question was, if a
package from the ${releasename}-update repository gets security-fixes
(which are released into the ${releasename}-security repository) with
the same priority like packages from the $releasename repository.

Regarding the universe/multiverse/backports repositories this questions
is answered in the ubuntu-wiki and the ubuntu homepage.

To make an example: Imagine python 2.5.1 (from feisty-updates) has some
realistic security problem and python 2.5.0rcFOO from feisty has not.
Works the ubuntu team as hard releasing a security-update into
feisty-security in this case as if the python 2.50rcFOO package from the
$releasename repository has a realistic security problem.
