Updates will be published through the standard repositories. See https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using for the details for Debian 8. Debian 9 will be similar. LTS does not get point releases, so expect the next Debian 9 point release (9.13) to be the last. Further updates will only come via package repositories. (theoretically this could change, and LTS could get a point release, but you shouldn't plan on it.) noah
