Bug#492863: update-notifier: the tray icon keeps finding updates even when the system is up to date version graph

[Sam Morris]

Looks like the culprit is the python script that update-notifier
launches to discover if there are updates available:

        $ /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check -p
        Reading package lists... Done
        Building dependency tree       
        Reading state information... Done
        xscreensaver
        bse-alsa
        xli

Looking further, it seems that depcache.MarkedInstall returns true for
these packages. But I have never asked anything to install them, and I
don't know where apt would even keep track of this information.
