Bug Description
> 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
$ lsb_release -rd

Release: 16.04
> 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

----
Steps to reproduce:
- Run `update-manager' manually, via `update-manager' from a terminal for example
- Press "Settings..." button
- Configure the following settings to hide all update-manager's pop-ups respectively:
Automatically check for updates: Never
When there are security updates: <blank>
When there are other updates: Display every two weeks
Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: Never
- Close settings
- Exit `update-manager'
----
Expected behaviour:
- update-manager won't be checking any updates at all
- but even if there are some "other updates" then it must be displayed not more often than "every two weeks"
----
Actual behaviour:
- update-manager checks for updates from time to time by itself
- update-manager shows notifications *all* *the* *time*: every single day and much more times per day than even twice
- update-manager keeps to show notifications even if it has been seen & closed manually (just because there wasn't time for maintenance window currently, for example)
