Bug Description
Using pitive 0.93-3ubuntu0.1, I get a message saying "Pitivi 0.94.0 is available".
IMHO that message shouldn't be shown if pitivi has been installed from repositories. It may lead to confusion to users which will try to install new version (maybe from the pitivi website) while having the version from the repositories already installed...
It's similar to what happens with firefox. If you install it from repositories, it doesn't show any "Check for updates" option.
Thanks!

Actually, the whole reason why this feature exists is because upstream Pitivi frequently gets public flak from users running extremely old and unsupported versions, and this problem is particularly present with Ubuntu users. I am pretty strongly against removing this unobtrusive notification. Anyway, it stops showing up after 5 startups.
