Because honoring this option in recent versions of the Ubuntu Desktop would result in an unusable UI.

Patches to update-manager to improve its display under GNOME shell
(while being careful not to degrade the behavior on the Ubuntu desktop)
would be welcome.

I don't believe there are any current bug reports of this behavior.  If
this is happening in saucy with update-manager, that's an important bug
for us to fix.  But that seems to not be the bug you're reporting here,
so closing this report as 'wontfix'.  We're not going to change update-
notifier's behavior to work around a possible update-manager/aptdaemon
bug.

  Update-Notifier does not consider auto-launch config option

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Update-Notifier does not consider auto-launch config option, but always directly starts the update-manager.
  This is really annoying, because
   1. The update manager is only visible in the overview of gnome shell but while working there is no sign that updates are available.
   2. I do not use the update-manager but apt-get dist-upgrade, becazuse the update-manager always sets all updated packages to manually installed!
