  A general security question here; is there a way get a list of
new/upgraded packages broken down by site?  Specifically, packages at
security.debian.org.  Any way to list security updates only for packages
that I have currently installed ?  "ls -al /var/lib/apt/lists" seems to
be a possible beginning to this process.
