[Bug 944876] [NEW] changed mapping of release_upgrades_policy causes software-properties-kde to set the wrong policy

[Philip Muškovac]

Public bug reported:

At some point the release upgrade policy mapping has changed which
causes this behaviour in the KDE UI:

UI:                    Update-manager:
Never     ->     Normal
Normal  ->     LTS
LTS          ->     Never

I found this after a user complained that do-release-upgrade -d on
oneiric didn't find the precise upgrade which was in fact the user
setting the notification policy to LTS by mistake, and software
properties storing that as Never internally so this is at least broken
since 11.10 and needs an SRU for kubuntu upgrades to work right.

A simple fix for oneiric would be to simply shift the mapping with (i
+/- 1) % 3, but that's not much of a proper fix.
