I would never do that! ;)
Seriously though, I might do it in a test environment, so good to know.

Thank you for that information. Is the email and apt-listchanges the
only way? apt-listchanges sends notifications from every system. That's
60 duplicate emails in my case, for many packages such as OpenSSH.

The DSA mail cuts down the noise but I'm assuming I may be getting
mailed about packages that do not pertain to any systems I'm running,
correct?

I'm trying to avoid what I always end up doing; a perl screen scraper
which I cross-reference with apt-get upgrade --dry-run and then parse
the pertinent package info into a CSV file that can everyone wants
emailed to them, for each server... maybe this is the only way ?
