Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
On Jaunty, the new update manager policy is to start the update-manager
no more often than every seven days. Regardless of viewpoints on this
currently very contentious issue, the prompt period should be much
shorter while active development and bug fixing are expected on the
release.
Because of this policy, I have not been able to submit any crash reports
for two weeks due to outdated packages; by the time a bug happens, I no
longer have the latest versions of some package and the bug report tool
refuses to let me submit. With the previous system, which informed the
user whenever there were updates, this was a very rare occurrence. It is
now constant.
Perhaps - until release only - we could have a more frequent check?
** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)

[Jaunty] Updating every seven days is inimical to the process of turning a beta
system into a production system.
