Bug#872515: apt: upgrade the binaries for a particular source package



Package: apt
Severity: wishlist

Hello,
      The security team releases a DSA when a package is vulnerable, with the 
recommendation "[...] upgrade your XX packages". The thing is, XX is a source 
package. The users should be able to upgrade the binaries from XX that are 
installed in their system.
    Something like:
 apt-get upgrade src:XX

It would be awesome to be able to recommend such a command in the DSAs.

Thanks, luciano
