+1

except for the 2nd point; I do want any important information to be
shown automatically. For example, I don't check the documentation of
each and every package on each and every update for upgrade information.

I also agree Johnny, all the information should be shown in the end of
the urpmi run, not in the middle of installing packages where one may
not notice them.
