Ouch. I saw a bug report earlier being closed and heard from someone
(you?), that this problem was fixed. It is a pretty bad bug to ignore
someone's settings and auto-install updates like this. People are going
to assume, we are doing something sneaky behind their back.
There was an issue earlier with PackageKit or gpk-application as well
where it would install some packages (preupgrade and new version of
PackageKit iirc) and that to my knowledge is indeed fixed now.
