The tricky thing is that something in the desktop session needs to
call the jockey backend to actually know. It's just really done once
nowadays, any subsequent GNOME startup will detect that the detection
cache file is already there and do nothing.

You mean update-notifier. That needs to stay, you need something in
the desktop session to react to new packages, update notifications,
apport crashes, etc.
