I'm not sure it makes much sense as a question though. I mean you have
the debs so you can compare them but that won't really help you work out
the effects of the changes.

Are there specific things you think are less secure?

I think you'd be better off doing an audit for running services you
don't want, things you can see as a normal user (i.e. not in any admin
type groups) that you don't want to etc.
