Title:
  Misleading ellipsis in "Restart now..."

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Every once in a while, upon updating the system, you're requested to
  reboot.

  The dialog has buttons: "Settings...", "Reboot later" and "Reboot
  now...".

  By convention, ellipsis ("...") in applications' menu entries and
  buttons means that you're presented with a subsequent dialogue asking
  for further option before the action is executed. E.g. "Save" (without
  ellipsis) saves immediately, whereas "Save As..." (with ellipsis) asks
  for a new filename.

  This is not what happens here, the system is rebooted immediately.

  Expected:

  - Either remove the three dots and make the button simply say "Reboot
  now".

  or

  - Present a followup dialog presenting I-don't-know-what other options
  or warning about potential data loss in some apps, and asking for
  confirmation.
