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).
