Title:
  do-release-upgrade lacks a --download-only

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  From Raring to Saucy, do-release-upgrade still omits a --download-only
  (though there are some "sketchy" work arounds in Ubuntu Answers.)
  Regardless, lack of this option is a bug.

  Versions:
  Ubuntu 13.04 -> 13.10
  ubuntu-release-upgrader-core              1:0.192.13

  Expectations:
  Expected man page entry about option "--download-only" and for the functionality to be present (to cache the new packages, then restore the original sources.list entries.)  A successive run of do-release-upgrade (without the --download-only option) should then install the packages from the cache if they are available.

  Actual results:
  No such option exists. Work arounds are ... sketchy.
