Hi Paul,

Unlike in stable, Debian unstable doesn't have a special repository for
security updates.  Any security updates go directly into the regular
unstable repositories.  Just run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade from
time to time to update your distribution and you will have all of the
security updates.  

You can also subscribe to the debian-security-announce mailing list if you
wish to keep up-to-date on what security updates have been made:
