(i am not > interested in theoretical advises :-P ) I've not using unattended upgrades or stuff like this, but apt-dater [1]: "apt-dater provides an ncurses frontend for managing package updates on a large number of remote hosts using SSH. It supports Debian-based managed hosts as well as rug (e.g. openSUSE) and yum (e.g. CentOS) based systems." It's a great tool, which I can fully recommend, using it to upgrade around 200 machines. A similar tool is UPDIAN, with which I've got no experience at all, and it's not packaged for Debian (yet?), but still, it may be worth a look.
