Public bug reported:
I'm getting notifications that my system and/or the package list is not
up-to-date every few days via the Gnome panel, although I'm running
aptitude regularly to update the package list *and* the system.
After looking around a bit, I guess the culprit is the file
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/15update-stamp, which touches /var/lib/apt/periodic
/update-success-stamp, while /etc/cron.daily/apt checks the age of the
file /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-stamp (without "success-").
This makes this cron script wrongly think that an update is needed.
