I tried that for a while, automagically upgrading security, but as the
transfers kept timing out, all I got was a weekly email telling me how
none of the packages got downloaded. In the end, nursing apt-get until
everything was completed was the only way. Unless anyone knows of a way
to tell apt to keep trying until it's downloaded everything...
