Hi Scott,

I don't see what could be triggering this behavior.  The update-notifier-common 
package includes hooks for the following:
 - apt
 - cron
 - /etc/kernel/postinst.d
 - update-motd

The only one of these that would be triggered by 'apt-get update' is the
apt hook, which only does:

$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99update-notifier
DPkg::Post-Invoke {"if [ -d /var/lib/update-notifier ]; then touch 
/var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp; fi; if [ -e 
/var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available ]; then echo > 
/var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available; fi "; };

And a) apt-get update doesn't invoke dpkg, and b) this should not be
asynchronous in any way.

So, what is causing /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-
available to be invoked in this environment?
