Hopefully I'll try to explain this correctly from my understanding. Information derived from ->

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop , subtitle:Upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

It is generally recommended that users of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wait until the first point release, due in August, before upgrading.

The Upgrade information will not "pop-up" until 12.04.1 This decision was made by rhe board of Ubuntu-Developers on request by several Ubuntu-Users. The decision was taken in order to provide a better user-experience for LTS-users, especially in terms of reliabilty.

Let me just point out to you as Kubuntu driver: Since April there were 2 bugfix releases of the KDE-Version, and the third is on it's way (each between 200-300 MB)

Since this mechanism should function also for the next three shortterm releases, I would assume the given behaviour is the exspected behaviour.

More specific Information for Kubuntu users: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu#Upgrading_from_Kubuntu_11.10

Finding the right package tells me this bugreport should be made up against moun-updater.
