Furthermore, I found the System-Preferences-System-Software Updates and
it has been set to (what I presume the defaults are, since this is my
first time in that dialog):
Check for updates: Daily
Automatic install: Nothing
Check for major upgrades: Weekly
Both Display notifications are checked/on

So, again, why were these three packages installed (not just updated) on
my system without my requesting it, shortly after a boot and login?

What sinister things is PackageKit doing here? :-)
