One possible way around it would be to do the update via something like cron-apt, apticron, unattended-upgrades, etc. Those tools also do inform you if updates are available ;)
Thanks for the tip, Andrei. I have installed apticron and configured it to send an email to august@localhost whenever there are updates available.
