Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The package-data-downloads-failed and package-data-downloads-failed-permanently interactive upgrade hooks shipped with update-notifier-common are malformed. In each file, the internationalized Name fields of every supported language are scrunched up in to one line. This breaks the Kubuntu upgrade hook notifier, making the window extremely large.(So large that the window refuses to paint and becomes a black rectangle.)

  [Test case]
  1. Run sudo cp /usr/share/update-notifier/package-data-downloads-failed /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/
  2. Verify that the notification which appears is malformed
  3. Upgrade to the update-notifier-common package from precise-proposed
  4. Run the command from step 1 again
  5. Verify that the notification which appears is correctly formed, and in your configured language
