Public bug reported:
If update-manager decides that the upgrade will involve untrusted
sources, it warns (good) and presents two buttons, "OK"(default) and
"settings".
What it doesn't do is provide a third button, "Get me out of here!" as
the default, nor a "More info" button that shows me what packages are
untrusted and why.
I am not flagging this is a security vulnerability, but at a social
level, I think it really is.
