Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
Running Jaunty, when I have updates to apply, the update manager tells me:
"These software updates have been issued since Ubuntu was released. If you don't ...."
While I understand what is meant, I'm not sure a new user would. Ubuntu was released at least four years ago, are these updates for that entire period. Does this include the new version of Ubuntu which has since been released?
A simple clarification might be to say:
"These software updates have been issued for this version of Ubuntu since it was released. If you don't ...."
or perhaps:
"These software updates have been issued for Ubuntu $RELEASENAME since it was released. If you don't ...."

Thanks for your bugreport.
I target tihs for post-karmic as it is a string change.
