Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: wishlist

When performing security update on a number of machines, I noticed that
apt-get currently does not seem to have a way of saying "upgrade this
package, if it's installed; if it's not, do nothing", perhaps in the form of
"upgrade packagename". This would be very useful IMHO: it allows for
easy selective updating (in particular for security reasons).

We reserved this form for another feature (marking packages to
keep/install), but you can use 
apt install --only-upgrade
