update-manager-gnome should belong to 'task-gnome-desktop', to be installed automatically
by default, and in my opinion it should also include 'update-notifier', which I also
installed manually, but no notification appears at all.
Also update-manager does not seem to run in the background, although it was configured to
look for updates daily and notify me accordingly, but it does not seem to do anything.
Then next, I find now that it offers updates, that aptitude does not, or that would only
be installable, doing a dist-upgrade.
Under Settings/Software Sources/Updates it still contains the word 'Ubuntu': 'Notify me
of a new Ubuntu version:'.
These issues should be fixed prior to the Wheezy release, because not everyone wants to
upgrade his/her system manually using aptitude/apt-get.
There should be some degree of consistency between updates one installs manually and
those offered via graphical update-manager, these should mostly be the same, but this is
possibly a problem with apt-pinning in apt-preferences and not specific to Wheezy,
because similar things appeared in Squeeze, too.
