It's also rare, but NOT unheard of, for a stable release to receive a
security update which breaks backward compatibility. In such cases,
there should be a NEWS file excerpt, which is shown to you by apt or
apt-get, which explains the changes. You'll want to be aware of any
such changes, which would not be the case with a fully unattended upgrade.
This has happened with samba and bind9, at the very least.
