thats sadly hard to do with a system upgrade since there might be
conffiles you changed manually which need human input to not break your
setup by blindly overwriting things (these prompts are supressed
wherever possible by update-manager already, if you get one thats likely
because you or an app you used changed a system config). 
but have a look at the unattended-upgrades package for security updates
on a stable system :)
