Title:
  Getting update notifications although up-to-date via aptitude

Status in aptitude:
  Fix Committed
Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm getting notifications that my system and/or the package list is
  not up-to-date every few days via the Gnome panel, although I'm
  running aptitude regularly to update the package list *and* the
  system.

  After looking around a bit, I guess the culprit is the file
  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/15update-stamp, which touches
  /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp, while /etc/cron.daily/apt
  checks the age of the file /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-stamp (without
  "success-").

  This makes this cron script wrongly think that an update is needed.
