This is http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7947

It has been known for a while, but is non-trivial to implement and
nobody has stepped up so far. It is also not quite as simple as
delaying the update message: after an OS upgrade, it is important to
inform the user straight away that their activities might not work
until they run the activity updater.
