Bug Description

When you install a new kernel, the update-notifier displays the "reboot needed" icon. When you click on that icon, a dialog appears that tells you that you need to reboot your computer. The dialog has lots of text, but I find it not helpful enough because it doesn't tell you which packages caused the need to reboot. It is almost always Linux, but sometimes I think it could be something else too.
