Thanks for working on this! Diff looks good (pitti pointed some minor
things out already).

One more thing, please keep the part:
  "DPkg::Post-Invoke {"if [ -d /var/lib/update-notifier ]; then touch /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp; fi; "
the part of update-notifier that displays a icon (used in xfce iirc) will depend on this file, it uses inotify to know reliable when apt was finished.

Title:
  apt-check hangs, preventing login via SSH

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-notifier

  While investigating protracted hangs in the remote login process, I
  noticed that apt-check is called to update the list of available
  updates and print the number of updatable packages in the MOTD. As it
  so happens, apt-check often hangs in mid-update, which effectively
  prevents remote login via SSH from taking place.
