You can find it in the release page http://drupal.org/drupal-6.19: We made two versions of Drupal 6 available, so you can choose to only include security fixes (Drupal 6.18) or security fixes and bugfixes (Drupal 6.19). You can choose your preferred version. We are trying to make it easier and quicker to roll out security updates by making security-only releases available as well as ones with bugfixes included. We hope this helps you roll out the fixes as soon as possible.
But I can it now - we need to tell a user to upgrade - "So use the latest version. Or the one before that. But make sure it's a security-fix release. Or just close your eyes and click a download button."
Now if Drupal was using three version numbers I can see it working, but, yeah, this is strange.

It looks like a dumb idea to me. Why would anyone download the version that just provides security fixes when they can download security fixes and bug fixes.

I'm sure on some level it makes sense. I guess.

Because additional bugfixes
Because additional bugfixes can introduce additional bugs and require even more testing before deployment.
See for example #881132: CSS Optimization breaks with non-UTF-8 .css files
