[Bug 1055793] Re: During upgrade, debconf asks about a modified file after an LTS upgrade

** Description changed:

+ 1. Install Ubuntu 12.04.
+ 2. Software Sources > "Updates" > "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" > "For any new version".
+ 3. update-manager -d
+ 4. "Upgrade"

  During an upgrade from Precise to Quantal, I got a debconf prompt asking if I want to replace a configuration file.
  But the difference was between 'Prompt=normal' and 'prompt=normal' (capitalization).
  I didn't edit this file manually, and I remember having seen this prompt on another computer, so it means that when the option to see all upgrades (instead of just LTS ones) is checked, it is wrote in a different way from what has been set as default for Quantal.
  So either debconf should not bother me about a capitalisation difference, or the default config file of Quantal should be written the same way as what is written by the update-manager's properties window.
  Sorry, I don't remember the name of the package with this prompt, so I'm guessing it was update-manager.

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

   software-properties-gtk makes a change resulting in a conf file prompt on upgrade that's unnecessary
