Packagekit spamming syslog

[Tony van der Hoff <lists@vanderhoff.org>]

Running fully up to date stretch, I'm seeing the following in my syslog
every 5 minutes:

May  2 15:55:25 tony-lx PackageKit: refresh-cache transaction
/144833_aadbeecc from uid 1000 finished with success after 2225ms
May  2 15:55:27 tony-lx PackageKit: get-updates transaction

May  2 15:55:29 tony-lx PackageKit: get-updates transaction
/144838_bddedcad from uid 1000 finished with success after 451ms

Can someone please explain why PackageKit needs to update so often, and
maybe how to tame it.

Thanks,
Tony
