Title:
  Distribution upgrade arbitrarily uninstalls packages without any need

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

Bug description:
  I had installed Avant Window Navigator on 12.04 to overcome the
  demential mixing of icons in Unity's launcher where launcher icons to
  open new applications are stupidly mixed with icons of existing open
  or minimized windows (because Apple does it doesn't mean it's a good
  idea).

  I have upgraded to 12.10 and Avant Window Navigator has been
  uninstalled. I see no reason for uninstalling a software that the user
  has installed. Especially when nothing has been done to make it
  unnecessary (the way icons are organized in Unity's launcher hasn't
  been improved the slightest bit).
