Ouch. I saw a bug report earlier being closed and heard from someone 
(you?), that this problem was fixed. It is a pretty bad bug to ignore 
someone's settings and auto-install updates like this. People are going 
to assume, we are doing something sneaky behind their back.

There was an issue earlier with PackageKit or gpk-application as well 
where it would install some packages (preupgrade and new version of 
PackageKit iirc) and that to my knowledge is indeed fixed now.
