Title:
  "The computer needs to restart to finish installing updates."
  notification should have a user defined timer to ask next time

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Whenever an update that needs a restart happens, a windows pops up saying this:
  The computer needs to restart to finish installing updates. This has three options: 1) Settings 2) 2) Restart later and 3) Restart Now...

  If the "restart later" option is selected, this dialog box pops up
  back in around 10 minutes- the user has no control over this timing.

  Rather than this, the "restart later" should have a different option
  like "Remind me in xx minutes" and the timer should be user-defined.
