After looking at the ical output that calendar-app generates, I see it's
already specifying calendar alarms that behave differently than clock-
app's clock alarms. So the datetime component of this ticket isn't
blocked on Design feedback -- it just needs to honor those ical triggers
generated by calendar-app.

I think my original point still holds though. clock alarms can be
configured through clock-app's settings, and there don't appear to be
any sibling settings for calendar alarms in calendar-app. Right now
calendar-app is requesting four reminders to go off, at two-minute
intervals, starting N minutes before the event (where N is set in the
Reminder feature when editing an event).

Title:
  Calendar notifications are treated the same as an alarm notification

Status in Calendar application for Ubuntu devices:
  Confirmed
Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If an alarm fires, the alarm sound seemingly will persist forever.
  This seems like perhaps the right choice for an alarm clock, but seems
  inappropriate for a calendar reminder. I would expect a calendar
  reminder to sound for only a short period.
