Just a hint regarding update checks:

Update check without sys-whonix

I was wondering, how qubes checks for updates. I update packages via sys-whonix, which works fine, but the system seems to check for updates without sys-whonix. Whenever i update packages (using gui or console) it fires up sys-whonix automatically, but only on downloading the packages, not for checking for updates. This seems to be by design. Why?
