Hi John. Thank you for your patch. I have three small suggestions and
one big suggestion.

Small suggestions:

1. For readability, instructional text -- whether it appears in a UI or
in help -- should not include any ellipses in labels that it is
referring to. So "Updates Available..." should instead be "Updates
Available".

2. The old text had the same problem, but since you're changing it: UI
text should use typographical apostrophes ’ and quotes “”, not Ascii
quotes ' "". Abbreviated example of how to do this in Python: _(u"If you
don\u2019t want them now, choose \u201cUpdates Available\u201d later.")

3. The accessible title of the last menu is "Device", so the text should
refer to it as "the device menu", not "the Session menu".

The big suggestion is that I'd actually prefer the second sentence to be
removed altogether. :-) Two reasons for this. First, though the menu has
the accessible title "Device", that's not obvious (as you demonstrated
yourself), and there's nothing visible that hints which menu is "the
device menu" -- so the instruction probably isn't useful anyway. And
second, I'd like to move towards the design shown in
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#alert>, where the only
secondary text is context-sensitive (e.g. "The computer will need to
restart afterwards.").
