[PLUG] security updates with apt?


I've been R'ing TFM but can't seem to find the answer:

Is there a way to do "apt-get upgrade" but only upgrade packages for which
there have been security-related updates?

The hack I can think of is commenting-out the non-security lines in the
sources file, but shouldn't there be something like "apt-get
upgrade --security-only"?
