--- Comment #2 from sergio.callegari at gmail.com ---
In my case the entries being shown are neither ignored nor disabled updates.
The packages that get listed had already been updated to their newest release
and nowhere in the development sites of these packages other releases (that
could have been disabled or set to be ignored) are mentioned.

Hence, at best these may be entries related to spurious updates to LibO
extension database, i.e. the database used by LibO to deliver its extension
update notices.

If this is the case, the thing seems to be related to a highly internal
technical detail, and I do not see why it gets exposed to the average user. If
this information is useful to extension developers, I suggest providing a macro
for them to call.

Thus, unless it has some more interesting purpose, I suggest that the tickbox
could be removed. Unless I am missing something, it is just an unnecessary and
confusing item in the UI.
