Kiwi uses the same software repositories as Ubuntu with one additional source added for the handful of artwork related or slightly modified packages. Hence it is easy to switch to and from Ubuntu and all the security and bugfix updates from Ubuntu are getting into Kiwi automatically.
The packages are hosted and built in the Kiwilinux team's Launchpad PPA. The main archive is a mirrored and GPG-signed copy of this and can be enabled by adding this line to your apt sources: deb http://kiwilinux.org/archive intrepid main. Medibuntu repositories are enabled by default as well.
