when upgrading software updater should not ask questions for which the user has insufficent knowledge to decide

[Humphrey van Polanen Petel]

I believe it is reasonable to assume that Software Updater is capable of ascertaining *before* starting the upgrade whether there are any questions that need answers in order for the upgrade to proceed. Surely is *not* reasonable to expect every user to be knowledgeable about all details of the system. As a case in point, when upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04, I was asked to choose between Gnome3 and Lightdm when I had never even heard of either before.
