Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager-core

Some updates require a reboot when they're done. It would be nice if Update Manager could let the user know if this is the case before updates are applied rather than after (as is the case now).

By way of comparison, the Apple Software update has this feature. Screenshot attached.
