Proposed updates is not typical.

Proposed updates

The proposed updates are updates which are waiting to be moved into the
recommended updates queue after some testing. They may never reach
recommended or they may be replaced with a more recent update.

Enabling this is reasonable if you want to participate in testing minor
updates, or know that your specific problem has been solved here but the
package hasn't reached recommended yet.

It's highly unlikely that *most* Ubuntu users will have this enabled,
and will not think of looking for 9.0.48 there.

But thanks for the tip :-)
