Title:
  Update manager should read "The package information was just updated"
  in 15 minute intervals for the first hour after an update.

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  --------
  Summary: "I'm proposing that as long as it's less than one hour ago that the package information was updated, the message should update at 15-minute intervals, with the first - that is, when it was less than 15 minutes ago that the check occurred - reading "Your system is up to date. The package information was just updated." When it's more than one hour ago, the current behavior is indeed very appropriate." 
  --------

  For the sake of clarification for the user, when the Update manager
  has just updated the package information, I propose that it should
  read "Your system is up to date. The package information was just
  updated."

  This is just a papercut bug, but I'm guessing it would have people re-
  checking the package information at more appropriate time intervals.
  Also I would say it increases the perception of the Update manager's
  user friendliness. The need to know a more precise time since the last
  check decays with hours - being of bigger importance when the check
  wasn't that long ago.

  This message should also change every 15 minutes, and in that way be
  even more helpful - "...was updated about 15 minutes ago." "...was
  updated about half an hour ago." and "...was updated about 45 minutes
  ago."
