Install security upgrades by default in jessie?
Hello all,
Currently, Debian, as installed by default (unless a DE is installed
too) doesn't install security fixes automatically.
An experienced user will activate this and keep all machines safe
[user-updates], but others will have a less secure computer.
Couldn't we activate security upgrades by default?
Which tool? unattended-upgrades?
How/where? d-i only? debootstrap? tasksel? ...
It was proposed for debian-edu in 2010 [debian-edu-2010], and is
currently under discussion for a wheezy cloud image
[debian-cloud-u-u].
[user-updates]: There are various ways: manual, unattended-upgrades,
cron-apt, apt-dater, home-made, ...
