If you're running stable, thats the only upgrades you should be seeing.
If you're running testing or sid, you dont get official security
updates, only package updates.
Since sid/sarge dont differentiate between security and normal package
updates, --security-only wouldn't help you. Run stable, I only get the
occaisional package installed due to security updates. (I'm speaking of
my stable server, not my workstation running unstable)
