(1) Going from 6.02.2LTS (Dapper) to 8.04.1LTS (Hardy)
    is explicitly supported.  Going from LTS to LTS
    is an exception to the "must upgrade through each
    intervening version" rule.
(2) One of the points of "do-upgrade-release" is that you
    don't have to mess with sources.list -- the tool
    does it for you (like when you use update-manager to
    do a distribution upgrade).
