Title:
  "No longer needed" is confusing in "Do you want to start upgrade now?"
  dialog

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  "Do you want to start upgrade now?" dialog is confusing to me:

   1. no longer needed -> i am not sure what that means; will those packages be removed? or can I opt-in to remove them afterwards?
   2. no longer supported by Canonical -> what should I do here? How can I remove them? Are packages with equivalent features going to be installed? Is there a way to stay "supported"?

  Feel free to invalidate if you think thats not important. For
  questions i am on IRC as usual or use asac at linaro.org as I might not
  read this bug mail.

  Thanks!
