I wonder if it is not easier if "update-manager" (a application used in ubuntu to just display available software update) is ported to debian (people are already working on doing this). It seems to me that the main use-case you describe - installing (security) updates - is covered with it better. Let me know what you thing about it. Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer.
