cool! a few comments on this script:

- it should be reported against nagios-plugins, not nagios (i fixed this)
- you should consider also posting this upstream at the sourceforge
  site (i'm on the upstream nagios-plugins team, so you can be sure
  to get a response).
- will your plugin work for security updates even against local security
  mirrors that don't have security in the url?
- it would be nice if the plugin could be configured via cmdline
  arguments to exit warning/critical for whether or not there are
  security updates available
- it would be nice if the plugin could be configured via cmdline
  arguments to exit warning/critical for whether or not there are
  normal updates available
- it would be nice if the plugin could be configured via cmdline
  arguments to not do the apt-get upgrade half of the check.
