This is (hopefully finally) fixed in 0.200.0~rc2-2, which should be
uploaded soon.

This needs some investigation. I will have a look at this and fix it
asap (might take a few days). It's not a feature, but a bug, to clarify
that.

A new update-notifier, that is built from the update-manager source
package is in the works right now, however, the problem seems to be in
the update-notifier package, as it depends on update-manager (which has
been replaced by update-manager-gnome).
