[Bug 1901128] [NEW] Feature request: Add an option to ignore specific updates

[Vasili Pupkin]

Public bug reported:

Usecase:
An Updater window appears telling me that there is a noncritical update. I want to postpone it until next reboot (i.e. for a week). I don't want it to remind me about THIS same update next day, but I want it to tell me of OTHER updates when they appear. The current option "remind me later" is not what user wants most of the time I believe, and a button "ignore" or "ignore until reboot" is what users need.

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
