The distros I use update packages in their repo for a variety of
reasons:

- updated upstream (features, bug fixes, security fixes)

- distro fixes (similar list)

Most distros provide a tool for users to check for updates and to
apply them.  Sometimes they have a setting that enables the system
to automatically apply any updates that are released.

So:

- I expect the distro to inform me of available updates

- most updates will be to packages, but sometimes they are of distro
  version updates

- I want to be able to select what to upgrade

- some people might want all security updates automatically applied.
  Or perhaps all updates.
