to get all current security patches for whatever you have
installed, comment out everything in your sources.list file
except for
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
and then "apt-get clean", "apt-get update" and THEN "apt-get
upgrade"
i think. :)

:
Would you like to DISABLE CONTROL-ALT-DEL? Piece of cake.
Just comment the line out in /etc/inittab
# What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed.
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now
and then "kill -HUP 1" to have init re-read the file.
