Bug#584979: update-manager-gnome: bogus restart required message when installing extra linux kernel packages

[Paul Wise]

Package: update-manager-gnome
Version: 0.200.3-2
Severity: normal

I installed linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 from unstable and
linux-image-2.6.34-1-amd64 from experimental via aptitude on a virtual
console. When I switched back to my desktop, after the install was
finished, update-manager told me that I needed to restart the computer.
Obviously this is false since I'm not overwriting or removing my current
Linux images/modules.
