The file gets used in different ways while the release is in development. The security source lines weren't used during development, but should have been activated prior to release. I wish I were so perfect that I could criticize someone for that.

Reread the announcement above. Reread the paragraph that starts with "If you have already...". Post a message stating why that paragraph is unclear to you, when taken as a portion of the rest of the announcement.

Another option would be to re-download the first CD, but that seems like it would be alot of work to fix one line in /etc/apt/sources.list, wouldn't it?

And, if you use jigdo, I doubt downloading the fixed image would be more than a few kilobytes (mostly to get the updated .jigdo file).

Which is useful if you've installed a system already, but useless if you're intending to burn and distribute CDs. In that case, you need to redownload (or ideally, rebuild, if you used jigdo) CD 1.
