Bug Description
[Impact]
It is not possible for systems without universe enabled and unity installed (a default package) to upgrade to 17.10.
[Test Case]
1) On an Ubuntu 17.04 with unity installed ensure universe and multiverse are disabled
2) Try to upgrade to 17.10
With the current version of the dist upgrader tarball the upgrade with fail. With the version in -proposed (accessible via do-release-upgrade -p) the upgrade should succeed.
[Regression Potential]
It's possible unity will be recommended for removal in and subsequently removed in some other situations so test an upgrade with universe enabled and the release upgrader from -proposed.

The sources.list file from this system does not have universe enabled and unity has been demoted to universe so the upgrader calculates it as a removal which is blacklisted so then the upgrade does not proceed.
