There is an intermediate choice. You can disable the automatic
checking, put the launcher for gpk-update-viewer on a panel, and click
that at your convenience; I do, more or less daily.
Then, when a new release has been out for a week or so, I use
preupgrade -- at *my* convenience, just like the updates.
It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that gpk-update-viewer
also has an upgrade function; being comfortable with my compromise, I
haven't bothered to look.
