It looks to me like edubuntu-desktop may be missing from the list of metapkgs:
2012-10-31 12:18:41,938 DEBUG none of the '['ubuntu-desktop', 'kubuntu-desktop', 'xubuntu-desktop', 'ubuntustudio- desktop' , 'ichthux-desktop', 'mythbuntu- desktop' , 'ubuntu-netbook', 'kubuntu-netbook', 'lubuntu-desktop']' meta-pkgs installed
and from DistUpgrade.cfg in the quantal release upgrader:
[Distro] ubuntu- desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, ubuntustudio- desktop, ichthux-desktop, mythbuntu-desktop, ubuntu-netbook, kubuntu-netbook, lubuntu-desktop
