[packagekit] I've broken all your nice backend code...

[Daniel Nicoletti]

Also can't we remove the systemUpgrade method?
I don't use on Apper, the method doesn't have a
simulate method, it's confusing what you should
use, in aptcc running that is the same as marking
all packages to update.

Thoughts?
