You are absolutly correct in advicing update-manager for the upgrade to a
newer Ubuntu Version.

But the -d switch means devel-release not dist-upgrade.
see update-manager -h

Upgrading using apt-get -- NOT RECOMMENDED
<---------------------------------------------

If you want to upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 6.10, run the following command
(either via ALT-F2 or a terminal):

gksu "update-manager -c"

The -c (or equivalently --check-dist-upgrades) switch instructs Update
Manager to look for upgrades. By default, the Ubuntu 6.06 LTS release will
not offer that automatically because of its long support cycle and high
stability.
