[ale] Blind Debian updates?

[Jim]

I did that for a long time on my home system, but disabled it once to do 
some manual upgrades and never got around to starting to do it again.  
There may be a better way, but I put only the "deb 
http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main" line in my 
sources.list.  Of course when I'd go to add a new package I'd have 
forgotten about that and scratched my head when apt-get said it couldn't 
find the package I wanted to load.
