(Get the code!)
Alright, time for an update on my meddling.
In my earlier investigation into this problem I avoided looking at the python-apt code utilized by the update-manager as this would broaden the scope of the fix to another package. This week, after exhausting all other possible explanations for the second memory leak as reported by Christian Assig and others, I dove in. I identified a possible memory leak in the "commit()" function in "cache.py", and wrote an experimental patch. I will submit this as a new bug against the python-apt package in a moment. Anyone interested in helping resolve this issue, or checking my work, should take a look.
