Public bug reported:
Use case: I have updates for Firefox and 30 more packages. I would like
to install them, but because I have Firefox open, Apper refuses to do
the update, because Firefox doesn't like to be updated when running.
Apper could deselect Firefox and continue the update, but because of
dependencies, Firefox might end being selected again. What is needed is
an api call for deselecting packages and it's dependencies from update
list.
