Title:
  Updates - combo titles missing from the screen reader

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in software-properties source package in Noble:
  Fix Released
Status in software-properties source package in Oracular:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The combo selectors on the Updates tab are missing a labelled-by
  relation to their header (the label on the left) which makes the
  option difficult to understand for screen reader users

  [ Test case ]

  - activate the screenreader
  - select Updates tab
  - navigate through the widgets using the keyboard (using 'TAB' to cycle between the elements)

  The focus should go through the combo options and read for each their
  value as well as the corresponding label (the text on the left of the
  option)

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  The change adds an accessibility->labelled-by entry to the .ui for
  those elements. If the relation was wrongly set an incorrect label
  could be read for some of the widgets
