In my opinion it really depends on the package and on the update. Sometimes 
you want to do annoucements, some time it is just a loss of time for the 
packager to do it and for the end-user to read it. So I think it would 
be much more efficient if it was possible to skip it. Of course it should 
also be easy to do a nice announcement.
