[Bug 1346234] Re: Allow running updates without authentication

[Harald Sitter]

This needed to be dicussed on ubuntu-devel-discuss and changed for all
package managers (and sudo whitelist them respectively) to retain
similar behavior on all versions of Ubuntu. I am reasonable certain the
idea will get dismissed though.

An update action is pretty much the same as install/remove, so what you are suggesting is to allow all admin users to install/remove stuff without first verifying whether the person in front of the computer is actually the person who owns the account.
Personally I find that extremely questionable from a security and system integrity perspective.
