Currently, users of 14.04 LTS with /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades's prompt set to normal are offered to upgrade to the unsupported release 14.10. In the past when 13.04 became unsupported before 12.10 we offered upgrades from 12.10 to 13.10. Skipping an unsupported release also puts us in a better position to ensure LTS to LTS upgrades work. Subsequently, update-manager and ubuntu-release-upgrader should be modified so that users can upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04.

The changes to update-manager will be generic enough to work going forward and the ubuntu-release-upgrader changes may require regular updates as a release becomes End of Life.
