I'm going to guess that there was some odd dependency thing going on, because after the post-upgrade reboot:

Upgrade was from Mythbuntu 8.04 (which itself was an upgrade from 7.10, IIRC) to Mythbuntu 10.04, 32-bit, via 'gksudo update-manager'.

I only created this bug because the dialog popped up and asked me to. It would be nice if the scary message didn't come up during the upgrade and it all Just Worked, but in the end it worked out fine.
