Binary package hint: update-notifier

With the new notification system in Jaunty there's no notification whatsoever of available updates. While the update-notifier icon may be confusing to users and clutter the systray, it's still useful to let people know updates are available. Here's some suggestion for the notification text:

There are X updates available. You may install then now by using System -> Administration -> Update Manager

This seems like it would work OK without getting in people's way. Combined with the weekly Update Manager "you should install updates now" notification we would have a way to escalate the notification of system updates.
