Bug description:
  Test Case
  ---------
  1) Install a system with the ubuntukylin-desktop metapackage and no other supported metapackage e.g. ubuntu-desktop
  2) Test upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10
  3) Quit the upgrade before it actually starts e.g say No after the upgrade is calculated
  4) Observe the following in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log:

  "DEBUG need_server_mode(): run in 'desktop' mode, (because of key deps for 'ubuntu-desktop')"
  "DEBUG none of the '['ubuntu-desktop', 'kubuntu-desktop', 'xubuntu-core', 'xubuntu-desktop', 'ubuntustudio-desktop', 'mythbuntu-desktop', 'kubuntu-netbook', 'lubuntu-core', 'lubuntu-desktop', 'ubuntu-gnome-desktop', 'ubuntu-mate-core', 'ubuntu-mate-cloudtop', 'ubuntu-mate-desktop']' meta-pkgs installed"
  "guessing 'ubuntu-desktop' as missing meta-pkg"

  With the version of distupgrader tarball from -proposed you should not
  see any of the three messages above.
