This is fundamentally broken - it essentially says "never mind what any package claims to support, just outright ignore it and install it anyway". This should be reverted.

Absolutely; I've chatted with mvo at UDS and we agreed that we want to revert this code in lucid. To fix the original issue, Michael instrumented update-manager to test python imports at various points of the upgrade.
