[Bug 921312] Re: Description text references non-existent"administration" menu

I wrote that existing secondary text. However, I have since redesigned
Update Manager more thoroughly, and the redesign does not have a
paragraph of secondary text at all.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#alert> I judged it was worth
losing the instructions for how to launch Update Manager manually, in
exchange for increasing the proportion of people who would read the
alert at all.

The other element in the current secondary text, as quoted above, is the
sentence "These software updates have been issued since Ubuntu was
released". This catered for the case where you're surprised about
updates being available because you've only just installed the OS or
bought the PC. So, I propose that that sentence should replace the usual
first sentence in the primary text.
