[Bug 1568368] Re: Misleading ellipsis in "Restart now..."

I’m against any attempt of backporting this change to Xenial. Please
note that this kind of changes (modifications to translatable strings)
need work from every single translation team, and it’s not acceptable to
let users of Ubuntu in languages different from English see such a
prominent button suddenly untranslated due to an update.

Title:
  Misleading ellipsis in "Restart now..."

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Every once in a while, upon updating the system, you're requested to
  reboot.

  The dialog has buttons: "Settings...", "Reboot later" and "Reboot
  now...".

  By convention, ellipsis ("...") in applications' menu entries and
  buttons means that you're presented with a subsequent dialogue asking
  for further option before the action is executed. E.g. "Save" (without
  ellipsis) saves immediately, whereas "Save As..." (with ellipsis) asks
  for a new filename.

  This is not what happens here, the system is rebooted immediately.

  Expected:

  - Either remove the three dots and make the button simply say "Reboot
  now".

  or

  - Present a followup dialog presenting I-don't-know-what other options
  or warning about potential data loss in some apps, and asking for
  confirmation.
