Title:
  apt-get upgrade spins up idle drives

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  apt 0.7.25.3ubuntu9.3 for amd64 compiled on Sep  9 2010 22:31:26
  Linux cobalt 2.6.32-24-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 15:38:55 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
  Release:	10.04

  
  apt-get upgrade seems to spin up idle drives unnecessarily.

  In a two drive machine where sda is system and sdb is an idle data
  drive:

  apt-get update will update the necessary files and leaves sbd spun
  down.

  apt-get upgrade upgrades files on sda but also spins up sdb even
  though no updated files reside on sdb.

  
  I would only expect sbd to spin up if data needed to to updated on sdb
