Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start update-manager when one of your software sources (say, a PPA) has multiple updates available.
2. Manually un-check each individual update from the source.
3. Un-check the checkbox for the source itself.
4. Re-check the checkbox for the source itself.

Expected results:
- After step 3, all the individual updates remain un-checked.
- After step 4, all the individual updates are checked.

Actual results:
Toggling the group's checkbox simply toggles the checkboxes for the indivudual sources. So:

- After step 3, all the individual updates become checked.
- After step 4, all the individual updates become un-checked.
