Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
Now that edgy has migrated from archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.
The specific workaround is:
1) with sources.list pointing at edgy on old-releases.
2) when do-release-upgrade complains that it couldn't find a valid mirror, edit sources.list to change old-releases to archive.ubuntu.com, and then say "yes, go ahead and use my unofficial mirror, kthx"
do-release-upgrade needs to understand that old-releases is something that may need to be changed into archive.ubuntu.com. (At some point in about 6 months or more, feisty will move too, and then changing old-releases to archive becomes a bug...)

Thanks for your bugreport.
I commited a fix for this into my intrepid branch. It will auto transition from old-releases back to archive.ubuntu.com though. I'm not sure if that is the best way to do it, afterall it means people have 6 month to upgrade from a unsupported release before the behavior will become a bug. If you think this is not sufficient, then please reopen and I will try to come up with some more clever transition logic.
