Title:
  Usability: provide a select/deselect all option

Status in Update Manager:
  Invalid
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Proposal:
  Add a select/deselect control to the main package interface. Existing behavior, all packages selected, should be maintained.

  Reasoning:
  I'd rather install 15 packages separately if they are substantial downloads (more than 5 minutes) than wait for them to all go at once. In fact, I'd often want to only install 3 or 4 and ignore others until later.

  If it had a 'select all/select none' toggle, I could easily clear the
  default select all, and life would be better.

  Examples:
   * TortoiseSVN's commit dialog is the perfect example of this behaviour
