Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
The distribution upgrade process asked me to quit all applications before it started downloading new packages. It then spent 2 hours downloading new packages before doing anything that really required quitting applications. I should be able to use my computer normally until the point where the upgrade actually starts making changes (i.e. only tell the user to quit applications *after* the "Getting new packages" step).
That said, if I were doing an unattended upgrade, I wouldn't want to have to wait around for 2 hours to hit "ok" on the prompt to quit all applications, so I don't have any suggestions for a perfect solution.
