> I'd be fine with a 'restart later' button or a 'don't remind me again'
button, though I still think it comes across as arrogant to imply an
immediate restart should be done without giving the user any specific
details about which update(s) require a restart or why a restart is
necessary.

I agree.

> I don't particularly see the need for a restart button at all when the
user already has another convenient way to restart.

I disagree with this. If I (the user) do decide to restart because the update requires it (and I'm annoyed enough that it does), it's 
- 1 click on "Restart", 
vs
- 1click on Ok. Go to the topright corner of the screen. Click the menu button. Go down to the bottom of the menu. Click restart. Move the cursor to the popup window thata appears. Click restart.

Title:
  No close option, only restart

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The latest updates to "software updater" in 12.10 has only given one
  option in the pop up after installing updates and that is to restart,
  where is my restart later or close option?

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#Launching_automatically>:
  "Software Updater should launch automatically ... when ... security
  updates require a restart to finish installing, and it has been at
  least 24 hours since you were told about this; or ... non-security
  updates require a restart to finish installing, and the “When there
  are other updates” interval has passed since Software Updater was last
  open (either automatically or manually)."

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#restart>: "If no updates are
  installable, but a restart is required to finish installing previous
  updates, a “Software Updater” alert should appear, with text “This
  computer needs to restart to finish installing updates”, and
  “Settings…”, “Restart Later” and “Restart Now…” buttons."

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#alert>: "If appropriate, the
  alert should have secondary text: “The computer also needs to restart
  to finish installing previous updates.”"

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#After_installing>: "After
  installing, Software Updater should behave as if it has just finished
  a manual check for updates ... whether it be showing updates that
  remain uninstallable, showing that a restart is required, showing both
  at once, or showing that everything is up to date."
