Title:
  ambiguous text explaining updates to running release

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Running Jaunty, when I have updates to apply, the update manager tells
  me:

    "These software updates have been issued since Ubuntu was released.
  If you don't ...."

  While I understand what is meant, I'm not sure a new user would.
  Ubuntu was released at least four years ago, are these updates for
  that entire period.  Does this include the new version of Ubuntu which
  has since been released?

  A simple clarification might be to say:

    "These software updates have been issued for this version of Ubuntu
  since it was released.  If you don't ...."

  or perhaps:

    "These software updates have been issued for Ubuntu $RELEASENAME
  since it was released.  If you don't ...."
