The motivation for this system was that when we managed to break
PackageKit's notification system, we couldn't use the PK notification
system to tell people to install the update to fix the PK notification
system. =)
(I suppose if we have two mechanisms, we'd have to try really hard to
break both of them at once. But I'm not really sure if a generic
mechanism for us to spam the user is a great idea.)
Right. So the problem is to not actually break PackageKit's notification
system, not to add blue tack and scotch tape on top of it.
