Hi! This bug might be fixed if you install the gnome-software package from unstable (currently it has a bug which will be fixed with the next upload, making it a bit hard to use) The GS application will do the update checks for you. For other non-GNOME desktops, I just recently uploaded a pk-update-icon package, which will notify about new updates. You then have to configure the Apt cronjob to do the updating for you (GNOME will do that on it's own, depending on the system's state (e.g. network availability, or if the system is running on battery power).
For a little bit of more detailed background information on the GNOME-Software case, take a look at http://blog.tenstral.net/2014/11/the-state-of-appstreamgnome-software-in-debian-jessie.html Regards, Matthias -- I welcome VSRE emails.
