Maybe a way to solve the problem would be to make clear in the package name, documentation and popup messages that it is not a native Debian tool? For instance, it could be called "Ubuntu update notifier for Debian". In the end, it seems to me that the problem is more that the tool has a name made only with dictionary words, which suggest that it is *the* tool to use. In the future, there may be more update notifiers, each with its own policy about when to reboot, when to relog, and so on, and "update-notifier" would have an advantage over the others, which is unfortunate because of the bad practices it promotes as you pointed out.
