Comment 5 for bug 870121

Just some final background information.
I've just run EC2 instances of lucid, maverick, natty, oneiric and this is what I see:
$ for x in $(euca-describe-instances | awk '$1 == "INSTANCE" { print $4}'); do
   ssh $x 'echo === $(lsb_release -c) ===; set -x 2>/dev/null;
   apt-config shell UpdateInterval APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists';
done
=== Codename: oneiric ===
+ apt-config shell UpdateInterval APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists
=== Codename: natty ===
+ apt-config shell UpdateInterval APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists
=== Codename: maverick ===
+ apt-config shell UpdateInterval APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists
=== Codename: lucid ===
+ apt-config shell UpdateInterval APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists
UpdateInterval='1'

So, this arrived in maverick. And, per Daviey, it came when bug 588340 was fixed, meaning byobu no longer depended on 'update-notifier-common'
