update /var/run/updates-available immediately following an apt-get upgrade

Binary package hint: update-notifier

Would it be possible to trigger an update to the data cached in /var/run/updates-available by /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available immediately following an 'apt-get upgrade'?

That data is obviously out of date as of the completion of the upgrade, so I think it would be best to trigger a --forced update at that point, via:
 # /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available --force

Actually, at the very least, it could rm /var/run/updates-available.
The next update-motd run should pick it up accordingly.

What do you think?
