Sorry for the delayed reply, I was busy with traveling around during

Calm down, people...
A few more clarifications:
1) This feature is not enabled by default. It only gets triggered if a
frontend tool makes use of it, and will not be activated automatically. So,
you will only see it when you use GNOME with GNOME-Software or any other
tool which triggers the funct

This is a feature of systemd and PackageKit.
See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/SystemUpdates/
The only thing which makes use of this feature is GNOME through
GNOME-Software, so if you don't want this, removing GNOME-Software will be
enough.
Nothing else in Debian uses this[1].

Hello!
(This is just a quick heads-up for the PackageKit-using people in
Debian, so if you don't use PK, you can skip this mail.)
We are currently cleaning up PackageKit[1] upstream, which means some
functionality will soon no longer be available anymore.
