Aptitude, at least in interactive mode can do it, because it presents a "Security Updates" (or something like that) package group. One can just Shift-U on the group to update just those packages. For the commandline it should be possible to come up with a pattern that finds upgradeable packages from a certain archive (origin?). Then it's only a matter of substituting 'search' with 'install'[2]. See chapter 2 in the aptitude user's manual (package aptitude-doc-en). [1] maybe you shouldn't post unrelated questions in the same message? [2] APT tools usually don't have a 'upgrade-package [list]' command, because 'install' does it.
