Thanks for your mail!

This bugreport is interessting and I'm happy to implement the required
change to not send a mail if nothing changes. However I wonder if that
is what should be default? 

I mean, it seems like its very interessting to know that a package did
*not* get upgraded (in some sense more interessting than if the
package got upgraded) because in the default configuration it means
there is a open security issue on the system. Maybe we could use the
idea from bug #652719 and add "U-A::Mail-If-Packages-on-Hold" (any
unify the options too) and the option would default to "true" for the
rational above (that it indicates a open security issue).

What do you think?

Thanks,
 Michael
