Yes, I reported both of them. The problem needs fixing separately in
each package where it occurs. But if you fix one of them, it should be
easy to fix the other.

Title:
  Doesn't warn that update will require restart (XB-Restart-Required)

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Triaged
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When updating a package requires restarting the computer, it is good
  for Software Updater to show this *before* installation begins. That
  way, if you need to ration updates for any reason, you can batch
  together those updates that require a restart, minimizing downtime and
  installation time.

  To allow this, the new Software Updater UI puts a restart icon next to
  an individual update -- with an explanation below the list of updates
  -- if that update's debian/control file contains the XB-Restart-
  Required key.

  Kernel packages should set this key, but currently do not. Fixing this
  is a one-line change.
