Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Update manager only shows the last time it checked for updates when there are no new updates available, but it should always show that because it is important information.
User downloads and installs all the updates only to check for updates after that and find new updates.
This is especially annoying when using testing versions of Ubuntu where updates are available at least once a day.

update-manager (1:0.165) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  * Implementation of "update on start" feature from spec
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates
  * Use a single main window that changes instead of having modal dialogs
  * Implement several special-purpose dialogs like "No updates" or
    "Dist upgrade needed" accordingn to the above spec
  * Split out release upgrader code and DistUpgrade module into a separate
    source package
  * Drop python-update-manager, as it is unused
  * debian/tests:
    - Add dep8 tests

Forcing the user to update should not be the desired behavior here, I detailed the problems with this in bug 1024909.
