you may already know this:

        apt-get -u upgrade

it'll list the packages that will be downloaded and installed,
asking you to confirm before moving ahead. not lots of info, but
it's better than nothing.

Why is TELNET considered spawn of Satan? Because every keystroke
sent by you, is transmitted -- clear as a bell -- across the
ether. Anyone can sniff your network packets and see what you're
typing -- passwords, love letters, cold fusion blueprints...
It's as secure as shouting from the rooftops. Everyone can see!
