I've had discussions with people on the debian-mentors IRC group. There is not much prospect of my approach in the PPA working automatically. The best it can do is tell you the command to run (DUMMY_RUN left as the default). It you are in the habit of running sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade from the command line like me, that is good enough.
