Title:
  update-notifier should emit notification when updates are available

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-notifier

  Note: this is not a dup of bug #332945. This bug is about
  notifications, not icons.

  With the new notification system in Jaunty there's no notification
  whatsoever of available updates. While the update-notifier icon may be
  confusing to users and clutter the systray, it's still useful to let
  people know updates are available.  Here's some suggestion for the
  notification text:

  There are X updates available. You may install then now by using
  System -> Administration -> Update Manager

  This seems like it would work OK without getting in people's way.
  Combined with the weekly Update Manager "you should install updates
  now" notification we would have a way to escalate the notification of
  system updates.
