yeah i disagree as i stated above with the synaptic way... synaptic is just too slow to use as first of all requires the password each time and having to input it just to check what's new is extremely annoying (i don't always install new updates immediately especially if they are kernels or in the proposed repositories). Additionally to this synaptic doesn't show in a fast pace like update-manager the change log: you have to go in a menu select download changes and then finally it shows a window which you will need also to close! I'd prefer avoiding the gconf key too and leave an option graphically visible to configure it to display advanced things if it's really necessary (i don't see what's the problem in showing version numbers at least people know what they are going to install and this is helpfull also for support in case of problems, additionally also other main stream products like mac osx shows them and windows shows numbers to the knownledge base where each update is explained in extent)
