Dear James,
I just saw the dataup package. It seems to do the thing I want but
don't know how to use the 'hook script with APT::Update:Post-Invoke to
do/display whatever you might want to' .
The dataup package :-
$ aptitude show daptup
Package: daptup
State: not installed
Version: 0.12.6
Priority: extra
Section: admin
Maintainer: Eugene V. Lyubimkin <jackyf@debian.org>
Architecture: all
Uncompressed Size: 262 k
Depends: perl, liblocale-gettext-perl, apt (>= 0.7.10) | cupt,
coreutils (>= 7.0)
Suggests: aptitude
Description: reporter of changes in list of available packages from repositories
Daptup is the apt hook which runs automatically within 'apt-get
update' or 'cupt update' and outputs four lists:
* packages came to archive with this update;
* new upgradeable packages;
* changes in "watched" packages (not installed, such packages have to be
specified in configuration file);
* outdated packages that have a new install candidate (optionally).

Look forward to some more answers.
