	There is an intermediate choice. You can disable the automatic 
checking, put the launcher for gpk-update-viewer on a panel, and click 
that at your convenience; I do, more or less daily.

	Then, when a new release has been out for a week or so, I use 
preupgrade -- at *my* convenience, just like the updates.

	It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that gpk-update-viewer 
also has an upgrade function; being comfortable with my compromise, I 
haven't bothered to look.
