I don't know if there is an option. On mine it loads critical updates
and if I want the others I need to run them manually. Either aptitude
full-upgrade or apt-get upgrade.

To manually check for updates and install them (I presume that is the
question) then do
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
