If you have minimal install, why do you suspect that something is wrong,
rather to suppose that all is fine and that simply there was no security
updates for your install? It is stable now, and as far as i can
remember, all those security updates we did have of lately were somehow
tied for graphical part, plus apache and ngninx. Apart for security
updates, tough luck of getting some other updates on stable. And
"everything worked fine" on your install of Stretch RC2 because it was
still testing and there was much more updates then?
