I've added a PackageKit based Update Control Panel. The current
implementation is completely broken and for deployments that might
want to control updates it's not overly useful. PackageKit is
distribution agnostic so would work on Fedora/Debian/SuSE/Arch/Ubuntu
etc.

I can mentor from the OS side of things but would need someone to lead
for the Sugar/Python side of things.
