Title:
  wishlist for upgrades

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  1. If you choose to perform a major upgrades from within the update-
  manager, there should be a warning that there is a certain knowledge
  of the system required to perform the upgrade succesfully - for
  preventing persons with little knowledge to perform the upgrade alone
  and then resulting in an instable system or a system not working at
  all .

  2. Reasonable default settings during the major upgrade, and
  warnings/explanations wherever crucial decisions have to be made, e.g.
  while upgrading from 9.10-> 10.04  GRUB-settings were taken over from
  the previous version by default, resulting in booting with an old
  kernel.

  3. In case of minor upgrades, please make a difference between urgent
  security updates and updates with which you can / should wait until
  you have a chance (time respectively someone with some Ubuntu
  knowledge if you don't have it yourself) for solving possible
  problems, such as a non-working touchpad after a kernel-update.
