Title:
  help output displays variable name, rather than its value

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Note '$distro-proposed' in the description of the '-p, --proposed'
  option.

  ~/ do-release-upgrade --help             
  Usage: do-release-upgrade [options]

  Options:
    -h, --help            show this help message and exit
    -V, --version         Show version and exit
    -d, --devel-release   If using the latest supported release, upgrade to the
                          development release
    --data-dir=DATA_DIR   Directory that contains the data files
    -p, --proposed        Try upgrading to the latest release using the upgrader
                          from $distro-proposed
    -m MODE, --mode=MODE  Run in a special upgrade mode. Currently 'desktop' for
                          regular upgrades of a desktop system and 'server' for
                          server systems are supported.
    -f FRONTEND, --frontend=FRONTEND
                          Run the specified frontend
    -c, --check-dist-upgrade-only
                          Check only if a new distribution release is available
                          and report the result via the exit code
    --allow-third-party   Try the upgrade with third party mirrors and
                          repositories enabled instead of commenting them out.
    -q, --quiet           
    -e ENV, --env=ENV     A comma-separated list of environment variables (e.g.
                          VAR1=VALUE1,VAR2=VALUE2) that should be set during the
                          upgrade.

  The man page correctly shows the value of '$distro':
         -p, --proposed
                Try upgrading to the latest release using the upgrader from Ubuntu-proposed
