Meta packages are unfortunately the only working way
get library updates to users. I still would hate to
see all libraries in Application Manager, even if
they were semi hidden to some category. Only _good_
solution that I can see is that Application Manager
would work the same way as apt-get and upgrade all
packages (except the Nokia meta package).
