This is a very good point, that I wanted to put to the minimalist who argued
for using apt-get. debs have to be extended with signing, but your security
is only as good as the ftp server you use at present, which is not ideal for
a firewall.
Using automatic apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, would not be wise for a
critical machine. It's great for home use, but a corporate firewall...
that's real balls to the wall stuff.
