The answer is: whenever you want.

To upgrade your system, make sure you have entries for a Debian mirror
and, if you use stable, for the security server, in your sources.list,
and run

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

and, if necessary,

apt-get dist-upgrade

For more info, read the apt howto at debian.org.
