Binary package hint: update-manager

The Update Manager program has no branding to say that it's legit.
There's not even an Ubuntu logo.

My advisor called me in the other day to ask "What is this program?  Why
did it pop up?  I thought Linux didn't have viruses."

After explaining that it was legit, he told me his reasoning: there was
little in the help he could /quickly/ find referencing this "Update
Manager", and there was no branding or logo, or any helpful-to-his-
level-of-skill explanation.  He's no dummy, just a born-and-bred Windows
user until about 2 months ago.

The Update Manager needs some "user-friendlification", including some
sort of branding, and perhaps a help button.
