Title:
  Reason for required restarts unclear

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The 'restart required' icon seems to appear much too often for my
  liking. Worse yet, it doesn't even tell you what package is it that
  requires restart or have a GUI option to remove the reminder or remind
  later. Also, to my understanding a kernel upgrade is the only thing
  that _requires_ restart. It should say 'recommended', explain why and
  still not appear as often as it does -- I'm not running Windows and I
  certainly don't want a clone.
