That's indeed very important. The most convenient method to test individual 
updates from testing, no matter how many packages are in the update group 
nor how many subpackages they have. (Despite the naming, it is not limited 
to security updates, by the way.)

Another one that also doesn't show up in the list is --downloadonly. It is 
needed to do safe distribution upgrades with minimal downtime (first 
download everything, then run the upgrade from cache in the text-only
multi-user.target).
