Title:
  Remove obsolete packages states "will take many hours"

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Following an upgrade to the latest available packages, update-manager
  will offer to "remove obsolete packages".  The user is presented with
  an extra explanatory note that "fetching and installing the upgrade
  can take several hours".

  It is my understanding that if all this part of the process is going
  to do is to auto-remove packages, then it will not require any
  downloading and is unlikely to take a long period of time.

  Ideally the messages for this part of the process could be adjusted to
  be less misleading.
