Yes, we need this for GetUpdateDetail:

    <signal name="UpdateDetail">
      <arg type="s" name="tid" direction="out"/>
      <arg type="s" name="package_id" direction="out"/>
      <arg type="s" name="updates" direction="out"/>
      <arg type="s" name="obsoletes" direction="out"/>
      <arg type="s" name="url" direction="out"/>
      <arg type="s" name="restart" direction="out"/>
      <arg type="s" name="update_text" direction="out"/>
    </signal>

We can extend this as required. Yell if you want to add anything.

Richard.
