For binary running as an user, after apt-get update, I don't think we 
have any mechanism as of date. We have one for running as an user after 
an installation/removal (something I implemented for OneConf in 
update-notifier), but not apt-get update.

Maybe you can implement a similar one, but this needs a hook in dpkg and 
then update-notifier. However, I guess there is no need to say that this 
is risky and way after FF… :)
