Too bad. I mean, I guess this is easy enough with a cron job (you'd just
have the cron job run upgrade and then update once a week, right?), but
it would be cool if you could establish more fine-grained policies
through some kind of .aptrc - say, only accepting upgrades to Apache that
are more than a month old, but accepting galeon upgrades immediately.

It's a thought, anyway. If y'all would prefer that I keep the discussion
descriptive rather than normative, let me know. :-)
