I think we can agree that the MOTD messaging gets confusing. The best
way to fix it is the question.
For example, we go from this:
(...)
*** System restart required ***
* Canonical Livepatch is available for installation.
- Reduce system reboots and improve kernel security. Activate at:
https://ubuntu.com/livepatch

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs
linux-image-4.4.0-112-generic
linux-base
linux-base
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ uname -r
4.4.0-87-generic
To this, after I install livepatch and login again:
(...)
*** System restart required ***
* Canonical Livepatch is enabled.
- All available patches applied.

And I do have a lot of CVEs shown in the livepatch status output. "Do I
need to reboot or not?" is a question I can imagine the user asking.
