I solved this problem with a shell script triggered by Network Manager's "up" hook. Because UU does not update the package list, I had to resort to a `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade` with `DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive` and a whole bunch of options to make sure everything runs reliably in the background. Convoluted and laborious.
But now my Ubuntu is *always* up to date. Before, it regularly went *months* without a security update.
Putting aside whose fault it is, this absolutely IS a problem.
Just an update, for what it's worth.
