Public bug reported:

If there are a lot of updates available, Software Updater in raring will
"freeze" for a while before showing the update list.

By freeze, I mean the window goes dark.  The GTK event loop isn't given
control while update-manager is thinking about the update list.

The original source of the problem is that update-manager has a naive
recursive calculation of updates.  It probably needs to implement a
better algorithm.  But regardless of the algorithm, it could stand to be
responsive while it's thinking.

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
