Sorry for my misunderstanding you.

This would have to occur either manually or by some cron job, cron-apt etc. So _at least_ it requires reading some manuals and manual configuration. update-notifier also does not suggest or recommend cron-apt or any other backend to commit the required 'aptitude update'. I will check, if adept-notifier will work in a more straightforward manner.
