I've noticed a strange case with apt-cache policy

$ apt-cache policy  sudo
 *** 1.8.3p1-1ubuntu3.4 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64
Packages
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/main amd64
Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.8.3p1-1ubuntu3 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages

Why the sudo version 1.8.3p1-1ubuntu3.4 is reported in both precise-updates
and precise-security??
