[Bug 351484] Re: update-manager options no longer match functionality

** Description changed:

  Given the new behavior described in bug #332945 , it seems to me that
  the options in update-manager are misleading.  For example,
  
  - I have update-manager configured to check for updates daily.  Why give
  me this option when you have disabled the notification associated with
  it?
  
  - I have update-manager configured to "notify about available updates".
  Again, misleading to give me the option when the corresponding
  functionality isn't there.
  
  To fix this, the setting presentation should be altered to distinguish
  between checking for updates, handling security updates, and handling
- other updates. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#update-settings>
+ other updates. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#settings>
