Bug Description
update-manager asks for reboots even when updating kernels which are not currently in use. I use a self compiled 4.1.6 kernel using the sources from kernel.org and the patches from Canonical's mainline kernel ppa. Today I got an update for bind and the 3.13 series kernel. After the update, I was asked whether I wanted to reboot or not.
There was no reason to. I don't use the 3.13 kernels currently. They're there as a backup. As for BIND. It's just a service that can be restarted on the fly.
Please consider making the update utility a bit smarter about this sort of thing.
