I should add the following notes :
The new default (Auto-Upgrade "false") is not a bad thing because it
allows one to use the curses interface to install or upgrade a single
package without upgrading all packages that have a newer version
available.
In conjunction with that, a usability issue has been fixed - if a
package has a new version available and Auto-Upgrade is false, then
pressing '+' on the package to upgrade it does -not- change it's
automatic/manual state. The older version would change automatically
installed packages to manually installed in this scenario.
