Right, but the description of both packages only hints about release 
upgrades, not updates. From "apt-cache show update-manager-kde update-
manager-core":

Package: update-manager-kde
Description-en: Support modules for Muon Notifier and Apper
 Support modules for Muon Notifier and Apper to check for new distro 
releases
 and download the dist-upgrade tool.

Package: update-manager-core
Description-en: manage release upgrades
 This is the core of update-manager and the release upgrader

So to me it doesn't look like those phased updates are used for Kubuntu.
