I really don't know .. but I know  ALL software has bugs
on the server side I care for the packages that are working with the net
as  Bind , apache , postfix, ssh, pop and imap

Those packages are in main and it's clear they are from the server and
will be updated

After reading :
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityUpdateProcedures

I can tell that  Ubuntu LTS  in the server side will have updates for the
most important packages ( LAMP Bind Postfix PostgreSQL , pop3 , imap )
