Thanks for the good questions!

APT Woodchuck doesn't change /etc/apt/sources.list. It calls apt-wroker about once a day when connectivity is good (unlike HAM).

I don't know where fapman stores its catalogs or how it updates them. It would be good to have APT Woodchuck also schedule fapman's updates if it is installed or to modify fapman to directly use Woodchuck.

APT Woodchuck disables HAM's normal update mechanism using the gconf trick. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that this doesn't always work. If there is a better way, I'd like to hear about it.
