[packagekit] Distribution Upgrades

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi,

It would be great if gpk-update-icon can notify the user when a new 
release of a distribution is available and initiate a distribution 
upgrade. One of the new features in Fedora (that is currently available 
for Fedora 7, 8 and rawhide) is preupgrade.

More details on that at

Atleast in the Fedora instance, we just need to hookup the update applet 
with preupgrade and you are good to go.  IIRC, Ubuntu has a similar 
feature too. Maybe we could abstract this?
