  This report is not a duplicate of bug #332945.

  I upgraded to Jaunty beta on Wed 25 March. According to the desired
  behaviour described in bug #332945 and elsewhere, update-manager
  should notify me at least once a week to tell me about updates.  I
  have had no notification since I upgraded 13 days ago (and have not
  installed any updates since Beta).
