Going to the Debian webpage and clicking on "Documentation," I find:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/reference.en.html
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html
.. . .which should help you answer your question (especially the

Also, regarding security updates, you may wish to subscribe to the
debian-security-announce mailing list.
