Bug Description
When there are updates available on the system, the 'Overview' section of the info capplet shows an 'Updates Available' button, this button requires gnome-packagekit but it should launch update-manager instead or be removed.
TEST CASE:
1. Ensure that the system is _not_ up to date and there are updates to install
2. Launch gnome-control-
$ gnome-control-
3. Select the section 'Overview'
-> A button 'Updates Available' is displayed at the bottom right
4. Click on this button
Result:
* If gnome-packagekit is not installed, nothing happens and the following message is displayed on the terminal:
(gnome-
* If gnome-packagekit is installed it launch 'gpk-update-viewer'
Expected:
update-manager is launched instead (unless the plan is to replace update-manager by gpk but there is a redundancy there)

I think we should use update-notifier for this for the time being, and disable the upstream PackageKit part. We don't want to use packagekit as a general package manager/upgrader.
