Upgrade note is fully justified and necessary. It is shown only when
automatic upgrades are disabled (as configured by user) to notify user when
manual action is required in order to avoid situation when upgrade never
installed because user did not know about it.
This package can not function properly without upgrade note (which is
essential). Upgrade note will not be seen if package configured to install
upgrades automatically. A reasonable precautions to avoid abusing debconf
were already taken.
