Title:
  people report bugs about update-manager thinking it still does dist
  upgrades

Status in “update-manager” source package in Quantal:

Bug description:
  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.
