[Bug 1577165] [NEW] 'Notify me of a new Ubuntu version' set to LTS by default in Yakkety

[Ads20000]

Public bug reported:

In Software & Updates, by default the current setting is to only inform
Yakkety users of LTS updates. This makes no sense since Yakkety will
probably be EOL by July 2017 which is before the probable release of the
next LTS in April 2018. I recognize that this is early stages for
Yakkety but this default should be changed at some point before release.
