Group packages in the list

[Brian J. Murrell]

Binary package hint: update-manager

It would be nice to see items in the update list grouped together by changelog entry, so that for something like "mono" I don't have to go through forty-eleven packages seeing the same changelog entry over and over again.

I am thinking about adding a lot of more logic to the list. It would be nice to make use of the app-data of gnome-app-install:

 * If available show the the application that is provided by the package and hide all other packages of the same source package
 * If there is no application group updates by sections
