1004 apt-get upgrade downloads all packages

Likely this is a basic question because I don't really understand the apt package updating system...

I'm running 1004 and every day when I run apt-get upgrade it downloads 440MB of packages:

Doesn't look in SVN like all of these packages have been updated recently. (When 810 was under development, apt-get upgrade would only upgrade packages which had updates)

Is my 1004 system behaving as it should?

1004's build has been run a few times recently...any time the build is run, all packages are updated. This is because the system is under development, and we need to make sure everything is in sync.

Makes sense, thanks Thom
