Not sure what you mean by "that is not case for Gnome in Stretch". I do
not have pk-update-icon package installed, but I do get notifications
about updates. As far as I know, it is part of gnome-packagekit package.
Not that I use it anyway, first thing after boot is apt-get update &&
apt-get upgrade for me. But it is usually fast enough to notify my that
my morning routine will not be blank shot.
