Just an update, for what it's worth.

I solved this problem with a shell script triggered by Network Manager's
"up" hook. Because UU does not update the package list, I had to resort
to a `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade` with
`DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive` and a whole bunch of options to make
sure everything runs reliably in the background. Convoluted and
laborious.

But now my Ubuntu is *always* up to date. Before, it regularly went
*months* without a security update.

Putting aside whose fault it is, this absolutely IS a problem.
