update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not

your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Bug description:
  1. Perform a kernel upgrade normally via "apt-get dist-upgrade".
  2. Reboot.
  3. Run "apt-get autoremove" to delete the old kernel packages.
  4. "System Notification Helper" now reports that the computer requires a reboot.

  The "autoremove" operation shouldn't require a reboot, logically
  speaking, because it's just removing files that are unused by the OS.
