Hello Tomas,

 Both Peter & Lee have suggested more pertinent (GUI) options for an
ordinary user but for the record, either unattended-upgrades and cron-
apt can be configured to automatically update but let the user/admin
manually upgrade if she/he whishes so (it's not the default nowadays in
Debian with unattended-upgrades but I think this is still the default
with cron-apt).
 Installing apt-listchanges and apt-listbugs can help prevent problems
with automatic upgrades: the former warns by e-mail of configuration or
usage changes in a package, the latter can block a bugged upgrade until
the bug is fixed or the user/admin decides on upgrading because a
particular bug does not bother her/him.

Cheers :-)
