[Bug 1511783] [NEW] release upgrader can create a too minimal sources.list

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

In the event that the mirror in your /etc/apt/sources.list file is no
longer an official mirror of Ubuntu, the release upgrade process will
create a new sources.list file for you with only main enabled for the
release to which you are upgrading. This will create a poor upgrade
experience. This will need to be fixed before or with the fix for bug
1463680.
