As for the related gsetting, it's true by default, but even one sets it to false, it doesn't respect it:
$ gsettings get com.ubuntu.update-manager summary-before-name
false
So at least that part is a BUG, update-manager doesn't do what it claims in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.ubuntu.update-manager.gschema.xml:
<key name="summary-before-name" type="b">
<default>true</default>
<summary>Show package summary before package name in update list</summary>
<description>If this key is set, the main update list window will show the package summary before the package name.</description>
</key>
As I mention in my duplicate bug #1733776, the Debian policy hints against this design choice:
From https:/ /www.debian. org/doc/ debian- policy/ #the-single- line-synopsis:
> Do not include the package name in the synopsis line. The display software knows how to display this already...
