[Bug 2060394] [NEW] do-release-upgrade -d currently non-functional

[Jack Howarth]

Public bug reported:

Under both current 22.04.4 and 23.10, the command 'sudo do-release-
upgrade -d' is non-functional and can't upgrade a system to the current
24.04 development release. I've never witnessed this behavior in the
past and assume that the development release has been hidden from the
update manager due to the mass rebuild that appears to have been
completed. Please re-expose the development release so that 'do-release-
upgrade -d' is functional again.

Note that I do have Prompt=normal set in /etc/update-manager/release-
upgrades so it should be able to see the development release as in all
prior ubuntu release cycles.

$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d

Upgrades to the development release are only 
available from the latest supported release.
