Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
The distribution upgrade process asked me to quit all applications
before it started downloading new packages. It then spent 2 hours
downloading new packages before doing anything that really required
quitting applications. I should be able to use my computer normally
until the point where the upgrade actually starts making changes (i.e.
only tell the user to quit applications *after* the "Getting new
packages" step).
That said, if I were doing an unattended upgrade, I wouldn't want to
have to wait around for 2 hours to hit "ok" on the prompt to quit all
applications, so I don't have any suggestions for a perfect solution.
