[Bug 1071057] [NEW] people report bugs about update-manager thinking it still does dist upgrades

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

I've seen a couple of cases where people using quantal have reported
bugs about update-manager, regarding the distribution upgrade process
they just went through, and it would be good to have the log files from
/var/log/dist-upgrade.  They should have reported the bug about ubuntu-
release-upgrader-core but old habits die hard and its not obvious that
these are two separate packages now.

Since ubuntu-release-upgrader was made a separate package the question
regarding whether or not this is about a distribution upgrade was moved
from the update-manager apport hook to the u-r-u apport hook.  It seems
to me that we could help people out and reduce back and forth if we were
to ask this question again in the update-manager hook and change the
package to ubuntu-release-upgrader-core so its hook gets run.
