Bug Description

On Ubuntu 16.04, using gnome-software 3.20.1+git20160426.1.a976144-ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu1

Creating a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ with the contents Update-Manager::Never-Include-Phased-Updates "True"; is supposed to opt out of Phased Updates.

gnome-software still wants to update these packages http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/phased-updates.html

Every day it displays the pop-up message "Software Updates Available Important OS and application updates are ready to be installed" if one of these Phased Updates is categorized by gnome-software as one of "OS Updates" even if they are not security updates.
