[Bug 2122103] Re: [FFE] Let update-notifier show a notification rather than popping up the update-manager window and stealing focus

> 1. The rationale of landing this in LTS-1 to have it well tested
before the LTS cycle is sound. But: would an early SRU to Questing also
work?

I think I'd like the new behaviour to be available on the system after (potentially offline) installation. And to be announced in release notes.
Also I doubt such an SRU would ever be approved.

> 2. Can you outline how you tested these changes?

I've been testing locally with multiple different settings for
notification interval, notification on-off toggle, and all the available
actions

> 3. There is a Needs Fixing comment in the update-notifier MP. Was that
addressed?

Yes, waiting on Seb to take a look again.

Title:
  [FFE] Let update-notifier show a notification rather than popping up
  the update-manager window and stealing focus

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In Wayland the --no-focus-on-map flag of update-manager has no effect.

  GNOME Shell and most other Wayland desktops default to focusing any new window
  because the mechanism to explicitly request focus is not broadly implemented
  yet, so the update-manager window always steals focus when automatically
  launched.

  Let's revert back to showing an appindicator and a notification, instead of
  automatically launching update-manager.

  The notification will offer options to inspect the available updates,
  or a one-click to install them all directly.

  An appindicator will also always be visible, to be easily reached even
  if the notification was previously dismissed.

  This is a Feature Freeze Exception request because we would like to
  land this change in a non-LTS release first, to give more time to
  discover potential issues with the update process.
