Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist
I would like to be able to configure apt-get in such a way that it only
takes update/upgrades from the security website and nothing else.
One way might be to specify a package site specifically on the command
line, overriding the /etc/apt/sources.list.
The other might be to take only the /etc/apt/sources.list matches on
security (probably not as good).
The problem is that I would like to be able to automate the processes of
doing security updates to a cronjob without updating everything on the
system in such an automated fashion.

Use some of the configuration file options to point it at an alternative
sources.list that only specifies the security sites you want.
