[Bug 1045579] [NEW] software-properties-gtk makes a change resulting in a conf file prompt on upgrade that's unnecessary

[Micah Gersten]

Public bug reported:

When you uncheck the LTS box on the updates tab, the line in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades looks like:
prompt=normal
on upgrade the following is expected:
Prompt=normal


Marking this high as an unnecessary prompt on upgrade seems RC to me.
