You're not insane enough to run an unreleased version on a production server, right? If so, every single update is accompanied by a DSA mail (subscribe to debian-security-annou...@lists.debian.org) or a point release (debian-announce). As you specified "De*an", these apply to both distributions matching this wildcard: if *=bi, to every package, if *=vu, ones with a systemd dependency might face a slight delay (but less than 0.1% of packages have such dependency). Both DSA and point releases do list everything that has changed in packages being updated. You may additionally install apt-listchanges and configure it to show changelogs, that will fetch relevant (and only those!) changelog entries of packages you're about to install. On a system running testing or unstable, apt-listchanges is the only way.
