>Summary: check_apt: SECURITY_RE is not correct (patch included)

Initial Comment:
Because of the "[^ ]", it fails to recognize lines of this format, that *are* indeed security updates:

  *Inst linux-image-2.6-amd64 [2.6.18+6etch2] 2.6.18+6etch3 Debian:4.0r3/stable, Debian-Security:4.0/stable)

This can unfortunately not be worked around by passing the correct regex with --critical, because of another bug in add_to_regex, that adds a trailing space after the user-supplied regex no matter: this prevents
theuser-supplied regex from matching lines like the one above.

See attached patch.
