 I think he means is there any official way the plugin can see if the
updates calculation has been done, without automatically triggering the
updates calculation.
 Maybe something like:

 try:
   if not len(conduit._base.up.getUpdatesList()):
      return # No updates, don't trigger updatesd
 except:
   # _base.up might not exist etc. ... if so don't trigger updatesd
   return

...at the start of the current hook?
