Updates will be published through the standard repositories. See
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using for the details for Debian 8. Debian
9 will be similar.
LTS does not get point releases, so expect the next Debian 9 point
release (9.13) to be the last. Further updates will only come via
package repositories. (theoretically this could change, and LTS could
get a point release, but you shouldn't plan on it.)
noah
Thanks, that makes it easy then.
