"Authentication is required to perform a release upgrade" is geeky

Bug Description

update-manager 1:0.174.4, Ubuntu 12.10

1. At a terminal, enter update-manager -cd
2. Choose "Upgrade..."

What happens: An authentication alert appears saying "Authentication is required to perform a release upgrade"

The word "perform" shouldn't be necessary, the meaning of "release" isn't clear, and the sentence is missing a period.

Better would be something like "To upgrade Ubuntu, you need to authenticate."

This is fixed although a changelog entry was not added indicating that it was.
