Title:
  upgrade to 17.10 uncalculable without universe

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Artful:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  It is not possible for systems without universe enabled and unity installed (a default package) to upgrade to 17.10.

  [Test Case]
  1) On an Ubuntu 17.04 with unity installed ensure universe and multiverse are disabled
  2) Try to upgrade to 17.10

  With the current version of the dist upgrader tarball the upgrade with
  fail. With the version in -proposed (accessible via do-release-upgrade
  -p) the upgrade should succeed.

  [Regression Potential]
  It's possible unity will be recommended for removal in and subsequently removed in some other situations so test an upgrade with universe enabled and the release upgrader from -proposed.
