Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

"Do you want to start upgrade now?" dialog is confusing to me:

 1. no longer needed -> i am not sure what that means; will those packages be removed? or can I opt-in to remove them afterwards?
 2. no longer supported by Canonical -> what should I do here? How can I remove them? Are packages with equivalent features going to be installed? Is there a way to stay "supported"?

Feel free to invalidate if you think thats not important. For questions i am on IRC as usual or use <email address hidden> as I might not read this bug mail.

Thanks!

I think this is actually a reference to a dialog in the release upgrade process (after running do-release-upgrade) and now should be filed about ubuntu-release-upgrader.
