Does the phrase "update-notifier" actually appear to the user?  If not,
I don't see a need to rename the package.

Title:
  Rename Update-notifier  > software-updater-daemon

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Triaged
Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-notifier

  I suggest renaming the update-notifier > update-manager daemon . 
  Since its now working just as an update manger daemon, and there is *no other specific notification*, which existed earlier.

  This would ease the discomfort that several users have complained in
  Bug #332945 , saying the new pop-under is a security threat.

  The main source of the discomfort is because the daemon is labeled different from the app it opens.
  Renaming it would make it more up-to date with the present designed behavior for updates.
