Title:
  Ubuntu upgrade interrupt. Due to very long process time for Ubuntu

  in the mid-term that cause installation interrupt.

Bug description:
  Ubuntu upgrade interrupt. Due to very long process time for Ubuntu
  upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, the license agreement question and
  packages questions asking in the mid-term that cause package
  installation interrupt. Could you put these " installation asking
  question" at the beginning of upgrade? Thus, I can click "Yes" to
  accept these agreement at the beginning when upgrade process start. I
  believe no one have time for just waiting a click "Yes, continue to
  install" in the process mid-term and watching the whole upgrade
  process for several hours and do nothing. Ubuntu should have an
  upgrade manager that act as an user's agent to collect the user's
  answers for the all packages' asking questions at the beginning of
  upgrade process. Then the upgrade manager automatic answer the package
  question during the upgrade process. Therefore, the upgrade process
  won't interrupt for waiting user's answer. When upgrade process
  installation start, no more questions will be asked until the upgrade
  complete.
