I am a member of the Ubuntu Foundations team, which is responsible for the update-notifier package. As a part of our work to reduce the desktop session footprint[1], I have been tasked with modifying update-notifier (well really components of it) to be launched by upstart user jobs rather than be a long running process.
While working on this I ran across bug 947008[2] and update-notifier's use of an indicator menu. I plan on resolving this bug in Saucy, Ubuntu 13.10, by removing the dconf key com.ubuntu.update-notifier.auto-launch and the indicator menus. I wanted to let you know in advance so that you could plan accordingly.
