Interestingly, I did see this dialog on 13.10, after installing updates
with update-manager.

Bug description:
  Release of Ubuntu: 13.10
  Package Version: 1:0.199
  Expected Results:
  Actual Results:

  When one runs /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk
  if the release one is running is unsupported, determined by examining
  the meta-release file for the "Supported: " field, then one should
  receive a dialog that indicates that "Software updates are no longer
  supported for XYZ".

  This is testable by modifying /etc/update-manager/meta-release so that
  URI points to a meta-release file that has your running release as
  being unsupported.  I've setup an example one at
  http://murraytwins.com/tmp/meta-release.

  On Ubuntu 13.04 this works but on Ubuntu 13.10 it does not.
