I started this mailing-list thread in ubuntu-devel-discuss:

    update-manager: terminal-based version -
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-
discuss/2023-May/019539.html

** Description changed:

  update-manager is listing if packages are downloaded, installed, and
  removed in the "Details" section, but the responsible commands (apt-get
  upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade, apt autoremove, apt clean, apt full-
  upgrade, etc) for these actions are not listed in the section.
  
  Please add them, so people can build scripts, and reproduce bugs, based
- on update-manager.
+ on update-manager. This would be particular useful for Ubuntu Server, as
+ it does not use a desktop environment by default as required by update-
+ manager (the "graphical management of software packages updates").
