Bug Description

The message in the window "Software updates" when the system is up-to-date (no packages need to be updated) could be improved. Currently the second line of the message is fixed:

===========================
Your system is up-to-date
Software updates correct errors, eliminate security vulnerabilities and provide new updates
===========================

I suggest that when the system is up-to-date, the second line changes to something different, e.g.:

===========================
Your system is up-to-date
It is recommended that you configure your system to keep itself automatically up-to-date (in case you have not done it so yet).
===========================

Or simply:

===========================
Your system is up-to-date
Congratulations! Your are running the latest software versions available for your system.
===========================

Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have
the possibility of being implemented if you would submit a
specification for this.

You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs
page (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs) in Launchpad. If
that is the case, feel free to contact the drafter of that spec about
your comments/suggestions. Otherwise you can start writing a spec
following the steps described in
        https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications.
