Should the user really want silent updates ?
For updates with priority "security", I think it should just pop-up more 
often.

But if someone really needs it, it should be do-able (Assuming one is not on a 
rolling-release)
apt ships a /etc/cron.daily/apt script.
So with the following in place:
APT {
  Get {
     Assume-Yes "true";
     Upgrade "true";
} }
One should be able to achieve silent updates (Assuming good QA is done on the 
update packages).
