1. Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure there's a
stanza for security.debian.org.
2. sudo apt-get install apticron
3. edit /etc/apticron/apticron.conf to have a reliable email
address for you.
Now you will get an email whenever there are security updates
for your system, and a reminder of the single command necessary
to apply them all.
