Specification updated
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates?action=diff&rev2=230&rev1=229>:
‘Whenever “Automatically check for updates:” is set to “Never” (so any
security updates are known from manual or previous checks), the “When
there are security updates:” menu should consist of options “Remind me
daily” (the default), “Remind me every two days”, “Remind me weekly”,
and “Remind me every two weeks”. Whenever “Automatically check for
updates:” is set to anything other than “Never”, the “When there are
security updates:” menu should instead consist of options “Display
immediately” (the default) and “Install automatically”.’

Steps to reproduce:
- Run `update-manager' manually, via `update-manager' from a terminal for
example
- Press "Settings..." button
- Configure the following settings to hide all update-manager's pop-ups
respectively:
Automatically check for updates: Never
When there are security updates: <blank>
When there are other updates: Display every two weeks
Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: Never
- Close settings
- Exit `update-manager'
----
Expected behaviour:
- update-manager won't be checking any updates at all
- but even if there are some "other updates" then it must be displayed not
more often than "every two weeks"
----
Actual behaviour:
- update-manager checks for updates from time to time by itself
- update-manager shows notifications *all* *the* *time*: every single day and
much more times per day than even twice
- update-manager keeps to show notifications even if it has been seen &
closed manually (just because there wasn't time for maintenance window
currently, for example)
