Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-notifier
I have a couple of packages where are consumers of the information
published in /var/run/updates-available (namely, update-motd and screen-
profiles).
There's a minor issue with debian/99update-notifier removing /var/run
/updates-available.
The absence of that file should indicate that current state of updates
available is "unknown".
The contents of that file should indicate that the state is known, and
what that state is. If updates are available, then the file is
populated with the number of regular updates, and security updates
available. If that file is empty, then it should indicate that there
are no updates available.
This is a trivial change, and I have a 1 line fix for it.
Cheers,
:-Dustin

empty /var/run/updates-available, rather than removing it
