And what 'updates' would those be?

On my hardy 8.04 test machine I see that there are several security updates:
- libvlc0
- vlc
- vlc-nox
- vlc-plugin-pulse
Plus several Proposed updates:
- sun-java6-bin
etc., etc.

On one of my jaunty 9.04 machines:
- libpurple-bin
- pidgin
- sun-java6-bin
etc., etc.

On this jaunty 9.04 machine:
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

You see, 'upgrade today' doesn't mean a whole lot unless you specify
which upgrade & which k/u/x/buntu.
