Assuming Gnome:
IIRC, update-manager has been removed from testing, and I don't think
it is installed
by default in Wheezy (stable). It has been superseded by another
graphical update manager: gnome-packagekit.
This new update manager (part of upstream Gnome) also has an icon in the 'tray',
but looks different, also it doesn't pop up at the same frequency as
the old one,
there might be some delay.
