Does the "security" repository provides anything not found in the "updates" repository?

For the limited number of package I looked at (e.g. apache), I found that the package version in the updates repository is always newer than or equal to the version available in the security repository (provided that they exist). This gives me the impression that all security patches posted to the security repository are also posted to the updates repository. If this is true, I can remove all -security entries in my apt sources.list and the -updates entries will still give me the security patches. This will speed up apt-get update quite a bit.

The best documentation I can found regarding the repositories is on the community help page

1. "Important Security Updates (raring-security)". Patches for security vulnerabilities in Ubuntu packages. They are managed by the
   Ubuntu Security Team and are designed to change the behavior of the
   package as little as possible -- in fact, the minimum required to
   resolve the security problem. As a result, they tend to be very
   low-risk to apply and all users are urged to apply security updates.


2. "Recommended Updates (raring-updates)". Updates for serious bugs in Ubuntu packaging that do not affect the security of the system.

However, it does not mention whether the updates repository also includes everything in the security repository. Can anyone confirm (or disconfirm) this?
