Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-notifier
I suggest renaming the update-notifier > update-manager daemon .
Since its now working just as an update manger daemon, and there is *no other specific notification*, which existed earlier.
This would ease the discomfort that several users have complained in Bug #332945 , saying the new pop-under is a security threat.
The main source of the discomfort is because the daemon is labeled different from the app it opens.
Renaming it would make it more up-to date with the present designed behavior for updates.
