[Bug 1628891] [NEW] /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d configs ignored

[Jose L. VG]

Public bug reported:

In my tests the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d directory does not seem to be taken into account for overriding the configuration at:
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

Testing on trusty, I have tried this file:
[DEFAULT]
# Override prompting behavior to 'never' check for new release
Prompt=never

With these names:
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/release-upgrades
&
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/99never-upgrade

And:
rm /var/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-available
root at trelease:~# /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-motd
Will always reproduce the output:
New release '16.04.1 LTS' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.

While changing /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades does work as
expected
