(Get the code!)
We'll eventually get a retry support in apt, if updating failed, but there are no plans to react to connection state changes.
The retry will be linear every 10 minutes or so I suppose, but can't be sure, we'll have to see - I'd do exponential, but systemd does not give us an option for that.
Any change is not suitable for backporting to old releases.
Tthis is a tough topic, but our behavior wrt to updating is not different from other major platforms - e.g. Android only installs updates in the same conditions. It just gets the service triggered automatically if it missed it due to conditions, but systemd does not retrigger nor does it know about network state.
FWIW, I believe that all desktops do have their own integration, because they need to for every other distribution, because that's how PackageKit works.
