Title:
  Kubuntu "System restart required" notification appears before upgrade
  is finished

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.)
