What's the best way to keep packages up-to-date (ie with the last security fixes) without worried about major version update ?

For instance, apache2 for squeezeis is 2.2.16 (https://packages.debian.org/source/squeeze/apache2)

However, last apache2 version for the 2.2.x branch is 2.2.27

Test repository can't be used since they use the 2.4.x versions and I'd like to stick on the 2.2.x (to avoid migration issues)

How would you handle this situation and how can I update to 2.2.27 ?
