Reassigning this bug to the aptdaemon package, as the message comes from
aptdaemon, as both Software Center and Update Manager use that now as a
backend.

** Package changed: update-manager (Ubuntu) => aptdaemon (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: aptdaemon (Ubuntu)
    Milestone: lucid-alpha-1 => None

Title:
  update-manager language unintuitive

Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Current Ubuntu Karmic, using current update-manager 0.125.4, a package
  was updated which caused the software to prompt with something along
  the lines of "/etc/xdg/menus/settings.menu has been updated, do you
  wish to use the new version?", or something very similar. I'm working
  from memory, and this is my first real bug report, so please bear with
  me.

  From the wording of that question, I would expect the choices to be
  either "Yes", or "No".

  Instead, the available choices are "Keep" and "Replace". The options
  do not match the question. I believe that either the question should
  ask what action the user would like to take, and have "Keep" or
  "replace" choices, -OR- Keep with current wording, asking if I would
  like to asking if I wanted to use the new version, and giving "Yes" or
  "No" choices.
