+1 for the availability  of that command
-1 for it's name.  Even something like update-manager-cli would have made it easier
to discover. (or call it using a special command-line flag to update-manager)


Someone else asked earlier today about why the special capability of
update-manager is not rolled into apt.

I always wondered why it is a delta between Debian and Ubuntu that seems
to stay around and possibly even get worse between releases. Is there a
technical reason why all of this special IA shouldn't be included in apt?
"apt-get dist-upgrade" is something a lot of technical users are more
used to (and natural at) than update-manager or do-release-upgrade when
doing upgrades via the command line.
