[Bug 1510920] [NEW] Ubuntu Trusty offers direct upgrade to Vivid

[Erick Brunzell]

Public bug reported:

I first stumbled across a user reporting on Ubuntu forums that Ubuntu
Trusty now offers a direct upgrade to Vivid if "notify of new release"
is changed from LTS only to "any new release". Unless something has
changed recently I believe that is an improper upgrade.

See attached screenshot for verification.
