It certainly sounds odd. But, honestly, right now I'm more concerned
that updates for PureOS seem to have been published in a non-free repo.
Specifically, non-free microcode for CPUs affected by Spectre. Surely
we don't mean to endorse distros that do that, do we?
Purism's messaging seems to attempt to distance their new nonfree repos
and dists from PureOS, but... I fail to see the difference between that
and what Debian does. But then, I haven't looked very closely. Am I
missing something?

Thoughts?
