Bug Description
A user in #ubuntu complained about no beeing able to upgrade his EOL 15.04 (cloud) server install, so i made a 15.04 server install in vbox to test this scenario, and he is right:
Running "sudo do-release-upgrade" results in:
"An upgrade from 'vivid' to 'xenial' is not supported with this tool."
An EOL Upgrade with changing the sources.list to use the old-releases doesnt work since vivid is not moved to the old-releases yet: http://

Ok, now i just tested a "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" which seems to work.
But this is a total desaster and must be solved differently. There are too many bad howtos out there alread telling every user just to run the -d upgrade which results in users ending up on devel releases when the dont want to because most people dont know what the -d is for.
