This is expected behavior, as 'new' packages are not updates to packages that you have installed on the system. If check-updates reports packages which are added to the repository but are not installed on the system, then quite soon you'd be drowning in notifications as folks tend to only have a small percentage of the overall packages from a repo installed. Perhaps a better method would be to generate rss data for the repository and use it? -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
