That sound a little impracticable to me considering the number of installed packages on an average desktop system. Especially if someone used tasksel. So I'd prefer what Nico has suggested: subscribing to »secure-testing-announce«. But then it would also be nice to have that like Karl suggested it. From the point of an user that would be the easiest way and integrate wonderfully into the update process. But then stable is what is worked for and if someone uses testing/unstable he/she should watch for herself or himself. So there remains only one question (for me): how is this dealt with on a dist-upgrade? Is ensured that every removed package results in some kind of notification? I believe that is not so (remembering the removal of ipac-ng).
