Bug Description
Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 14.04
1. Wait for an update to glibc to become available.
2. Open Software Updater.
3. Expand the "Details of updates" section.
4. Expand the "Ubuntu Base" section.
What you should see:
2. A restart icon and the text "The computer will need to restart afterwards.".
3. A restart icon next to "Ubuntu Base".
4. A restart icon next to "Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries".
What you actually see: No such restart icons.
When updating a package requires restarting the computer, it is good for Software Updater to show this *before* installation begins. That way, if you need to ration updates for any reason, you can batch together those updates that require a restart, minimizing downtime and installation time.
To allow this, the new Software Updater UI puts a restart icon next to an individual update -- with an explanation below the list of updates -- if that update's debian/control file contains the XB-Restart-Required key.

glibc packages should set this key, but currently do not. Fixing this should be a one-line change.

Hi!
I am new here! (working with Mozilla projects for a while)
May I know if this bug is still valid? If so, what packages do I need to build and what language would I be using?
