Looks like this was just an oversight, and should make it into Wily before
EOL.  Good.

Not sure that's really even a bug anymore.  But since it seemed to worry
you, I tried a fresh Wily desktop install, fully updated and upgraded to
Xenial.

Not a problem for me, I was not able to recreate this bug:
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/18862815/

I tried it twice and both times, I was able to successfully upgrade from
Wily to Xenial with no failed packages.
