I just had a user ask me about configuring nightly 'download but don't
apply' updates, and it took me quite a while to find the option even
though I had a vague idea where it was already. This suggests to me a
usability issue that might be improved on.
First problem; the option is in synaptic, it would make a lot more sense
if this option was accessed through update manager.
Second problem; Settings > Repositories in synaptic brings up a
'Software Preferences' dialog, which is where I eventually found the
option. It should probably be under the existing 'Preferences' dialog,
or perhaps the 'repositories' menu needs to be more accurately named?
I hope this is the correct list to bring up this kind of suggestion :)
