Bug#619578: update-manager-gnome: unclear message when safe upgrading

Package: update-manager-gnome
Version: 0.200.5-1
Severity: normal

When I upgrade, I get a pop-up asking me I want a safe upgrade or not?
When I read the text, I get more and more confused.
Please replace the Yes of No button with, safe upgrade or complete upgrade.
Perhaps with a warning. This could break dependencies.
Or even even better, popup only once, and change it in settings when needed.

Thank you for looking into this.
