14.04 seems subject to bug 1046563 with update-manager/notifier

[John Hupp]

OK, I'm in good position to test whether this is the old bug at work or 
simply phased updates working properly.  I just ran Software Updater 
manually and it identified 683 KB of updates available for the Lubuntu 
Base.  I did not install the updates, so within 2.5 days I should be 
notified that there are updates available.
