Thanks mac_v for writing that up. I've read through the page, and it has some good ideas -- for example making the alert less scary by using an updates icon instead of the /!\ icon, and showing the download size. Other ideas I have no hesitation in dismissing as crack, ;-) such as replacing "restart" with the hand-wavingly vague "start afresh".
I will take all these ideas into account in more detail when fully specifying the presentation of software updates. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdatePresentation> In the meantime, for Karmic, I think we should simply correct the sentence, so I'll update this bug report accordingly. Feel free to report individual bugs on other individual problems.
