I wish to be notified (say - by email) whenever an update took place.
I was using "apt-get dist-upgrade -q -q -u", until I realized that I am not
notified.

I think that the -u option, when given with the -q option, should output the list
of packages updated, if any, but not output anything if no update took place.
