Well that's what apt-get update;apt-get upgrade is good for.
If there is no updated version on http://security.debian.org/ (and
apt-get upgrade doesn't work because of this) there is no point in
having a script which downloads something that does not exist.
Just be sure to run apt-get update;apt-get -s upgrade with cron each few
hours, and mail root if there are any updates.
