Title:
  Option to deselect all  packages on a "per-program basis" would be
  helpful

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  At present if a user right clicks on the list of updates they're able to "check all" or "uncheck all". It would be very helpful to allow the user to uncheck updates related to a specific piece of software  in this same, quick way. This could accomplished by changing the context menu if a user right clicks on a  software heading (e.g. "Banshee Team PPA"). The context menu could then provide an additional option similar to "uncheck all software updates for [progam name]".
