[Bug 1385788] [NEW] Kubuntu "System restart required" notification appears before upgrade is finished

[skierpage]

Public bug reported:

I followed the instructions in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UtopicUpgrades/Kubuntu to upgrade
Kubuntu 14.04 to 14.10.

My upgrade is nearly complete, it's in "Cleaning up" and prompting me
  Package changes
  Remove obsolete packages  
  96 packages are going to be removed

However, KDE has jumped the gun and is already displaying its standard yellow restart notification icon, with a notification bubble
  System Notification Helper
  A system restart is needed to complete the update process

Presumably the back-end dpkg changes have triggered this notification
even though the install script knows there's still work to do.

Expected behavior: somehow the cross-platform ubuntu-release-upgrader
can disable the desktop environment's restart support, or disable it.

(There's a similar bug that shortly after I started the  upgrade, KDE
displayed both a Muon notification and a System notification telling me
that a system upgrade is available.)
