Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
Downloads via update-manager can be hundreds of megabytes or even gigabytes, particularly if one is helping test and a lot of packages are changing.
On the plan I have, bandwidth is free from midnight to 8am but not at other times. So I would like to do the downloading during this period. However, I don't want to have to stay up until midnight to set it off.
If there was a command-line switch for "do all the downloads, no questions asked" I could use sleep or some other delaying script. That would be fine. But there is no such option. Can we have one please, or some other mechanism by which to delay the upgrade process to a certain time?

Not something that's likely to get done before Hardy release but I'll add this to the wishlist to be looked at later
