Currently, the number of packages to be upgraded, newly installed or removed by
sparky-aptus-upgrade is only shown to the user if they select the "changelist" option. This creates a risk that the user will unknowingly remove a package. Although very rarely, this can have dire consequences, e.g. like when Linus from LTT removed his entire DE while installing Steam, because there was an error in dependencies.
SuggestionAdd the apt information about the number of packages to be upgraded, newly installed, removed or not upgraded to the main
System Upgrade screen. Ideally, if there are packages to be removed, display their names automatically.
