Ah, well spotted. Several programs should vary their UI depending on
whether canonical-livepatch is installed. update-manager is one of them
(this bug); software-properties is another; and gnome-initial-setup is
another.

Bug 1770686 reveals that the Livepatch settings in software-properties
depend, in turn, on the gnome-online-accounts-panel in gnome-control-
center. This isn’t a package-level dependency: you can still install and
use software-properties without gnome-online-accounts, you just don’t
see the Livepatch feature. So I guess anything linking to the software-
properties Livepatch UI should check for the existence of that panel
*and* of software-properties itself.

That doesn’t change the UI design for this bug (if you can’t turn on
Livepatch, it’s not “available”), but it will affect the implementation.
