We're running Debian Stable. By definition there shouldn't be any
large changes. In fact most updates will be security updates and I
like these to be applied as fast as possible. If something breaks,
then just downgrade to the old package (to be found in
/var/lib/apt/cache). We're not the stock exchange - if we have some
little downtime now and then it's better than running with security
problems for several weeks.

I agree. Especially the rkhunter mails should be adjusted. Versions
will always be out of date because we run Debian Stable, so checking
them makes no sense. I'd like to get mails only when there is some
action that has to be taken.

fine with me
