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.
