I agree that describing an automated default as manual is somewhat less
than intuitive...

I've also been hit by the first, as I think I mentioned. As for the other
two, re-emerging a binary package won't help at all, because it's a binary
package, so you unpack it rather than rebuild it. That's more a problem
with using binary packages on a source distro than a fault of
python-updater itself.
