Oh, the ISV will probably put up a bubble after the update is applied,
telling the user that it's happened and to restart the app to get it.

Maybe partly.  The app needs to be able to present that exact set
of choices to the user, but for this particular app's updates,
and I don't think Packagekit offers that fine a granularity.
