  We start downloading the updates earlier, but there is no guarantee
  all of them will be downloaded by the time the installation finishes.
  None of them are applied, so one will still see "Software Updates"
  available dialog on first boot and it will still require to finish up
  downloading packages. How does this relate to changes in
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates spec? Does the software
  updater download updates in the background by default as well? Both
  the installer and software updater should be consistent with respect
  to pre-downloading updates in the background, as otherwise software
  updater will pop up and still say that downloading is required.
