It's a little busy with calls to action, I'll run this by Josh Powers today to see this is  significant enough to warrant any changes on our side.

I'll circle back on this with any feedback.

Title:
  motd messaging changes regarding apt updates

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in update-notifier source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Changes to wording regarding the ESM support available for Trusty. Additionally, reorder command output after UX review.

  [Test Case]
  test_motd.py has unit tests for all of the combinations of upgrade types possible. It's also possible to run "/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable" on a system with ESM configured (enabled or disabled).

  [Regression Potential]
  Only strings are changing in this update and this could be considered a follow up SRU to bug 1822340 which created no issues.

  [Notice]
  This is only being SRU'ed to Ubuntu 14.04 (as with the previous SRU) as Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04 will have some additional changes.
