  You can disable checking in configuration, no more spamming.
  To me removing the option for checking is like self-cheating and
  trusting the Debian version is always the latest.
  As a user why should I trust the debian maintainer about that? :)
  And as the debian maintainer I'd like to be notified by the users if
  I miss some release [0], so really don't see the point of removing
  the option.

  regards,

[0] Already know the watch file would warn of this on PTS, but that
    resource not usually checked by users, a menu option is more quick.
