This way, you can follow the Excito upgrade instructions without worry. I have struggled with Linux for years, but with Bubba it is great to be able to leave the upgrades to Excito and just follow the instructions for a stress free life.
My thoughts to Clive!

I think I'll stick with leaving the # in front of the first three lines and leave it up to Excitos team whenever the updates arrive. :D

How do you do this? I usually editing the sources.list file and then put the hashes back once I've installed the new software, is there a way to tell apt to use the non-excito sources from the command line?

No, I do exactly the same as you and un-comment the Debian sources when I need to install software and put the # back after so it doesn't mess up if I updated from the UI.
