I let ubuntu manage my wordpress install and I want to continue doing that. Thus, I don't think the built-in function from wordpress to inform about a new upstream release makes any sense and can easily be counterproductive. Somebody who is not so well-versed with the whole FOSS-process of upstream->debian->ubuntu might well be irritated that the software keeps telling about the available upgrade when "sudo aptitude" disagrees.
