Comment 18 for bug 1452238

Of course, after I said this is an apt (or python-apt, if people are seeing it in update-manager too) bug, which is true, it can work harder to do better loop breaking and batching, this could maybe be worked around by fudging the dependencies of initscripts a bit, perhaps removing the upstart and mountall deps (the latter might have to become a versioned break).

Working around this with initscripts would require some care to make sure upgrades work from 14.04 to 14.04.(current), as well as 12.04 to 14.04.(current) as well.
