Just an idea



Hello dear maintainers,

I would like to introduce you my idea, if it might be possible to add a new 
feature to cron-apt:

----
Feature: Add an option, that cron-apt will not run regularly, but instead 
whenever a security-whole was detected in a package. So an update will only 
be started, when a security patch appeared.
----

Yes, of course I can force this, when there is only security.debian.org in the 
sources.list, but this way I have always to change the sources.list, whenever 
I want to do a normal upgrade. Maybe this feature might be already 
implemented (but I did not find in in the documentation), maybe different 
sources.lists can be used for different apt commands ??? 

This is just an idea, maybe someone likes it and wants to implement it. Sorry, 
I am no coder.

If you think, this is stupid, excuse the noise.

Kind regards

Hans-J. Ullrich
