IIRC, for the gnome edition, it is also true for stable

Yep. it is u-n-c that does the real work. update-notifier-kde is just
notifying the user.

u-n-c is also touching a set of files at the end of each apt run, and
u-n-kde is basically listening on changes to these files.

u-n-c also is creating a file when a new kernel is installed, thru the 
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/update-notifier file.
This file basically creates a stamp file:
/var/run/reboot-required
u-n-kde listens also to the creation of this file, and notifies the user
that a reboot is required.

(your descriptions of how apt and update-notifier-common interacted are
correct)
