Generally one can ignore doing the mergemaster simply for a security patch.
Unless, of course, the security patch fixes problems in /etc files that mergemaster *must* update. It's not very difficult to run mergemaster. I wouldn't recomment avoiding it altogether. [ ... ]

Reasonable people disagree, however. In particular, people who aren't familiar with diff generally find mergemaster to be incomprehensible. :-)
