I concur with your request for people to stop trolling; that is not
helpful.

However, I'm slightly confused as to where the reasons for not
supporting this are given.  Could you please indicate a message #?  As a
number of people have said, the updating system works fine in synaptic
and aptitude?

I would like to echo the comments here and in some of the duplicative
bugs that this is a real problem for 'normal' users, eg non-programmers
or people who are not overly computer-literate.  When I originally
posted this myself  in Bug #411095 I said:

'When Blocked Updates are available, KPackageKit makes them available in
the updater and flags an alert to say that updates are ready. However,
it prevents the updates being applied, so the alert stays up forever,
defeating the point of having an alert. It is also a potential security
problem (although not an actual one) because the user may get fed up
with manually checking for new updates and miss a critical one.'

I still see this as being the most important problem caused by this
behaviour.
