Bug Description
[Impact]
The release-upgrader tarball includes a file, removal_
[Test Case]
To test the unity blacklist issue
1) Using an up to date Ubuntu 16.04 remove universe from sources.list
2) Ensure /etc/update-
3) Run 'do-release-upgrade -d'
4) Observe a failure to calculate the upgrade i.e. "ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'unity' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.'"
Using the release upgrader tarball from -proposed the release upgrade should be successfully calculated.
Additionally, testing the release upgrade process of a "regular" system from 16.04 to 18.04 and 17.10 to 18.04 is a good idea to ensure that the release upgrade process works.
[Regression Potential]

Adam has some concerns about why unity was suggested for removal so that should be investigated before accepting this.
