On Noble, I see this in my motd:

*** System restart required ***
Pending kernel upgrade!
Running kernel version:
  6.8.0-22-generic
Diagnostics:
  The currently running kernel version is not the expected kernel version 6.8.0-31-generic.

I found this code in needrestart:

/usr/sbin/needrestart: 'The currently running kernel version is {kversion} which is not the expected kernel version {eversion}.',

I'm told that it is incorrect for needrestart to be injecting this into motd. Steve points out that needrestart isn't installed on desktop and the behaviour shouldn't be different here, thinks that this shouldn't be injected into motd, and asked for a bug report for this.
