Bug Description
I had qgis installed from it's original repo (https:/
During the upgrade process from 19.10 to 20.04 the package got uninstalled.
Expected
(1) User installed software should not get automatically uninstalled
(2) IF it is absolutely necessary to uninstall user-installed software, the user should get an EXPLICIT warning stating that the software is going to be removed. The explicit warning should be shown BEFORE doing the upgrade, so the user can decide if the upgrade is worth it.

During the distribution upgrade process there is an opportunity to view the details of what will happen during the upgrade. Viewing the details of the upgrade with the packages you have installed I discovered the following information.
"Remove: idle-python3.7 libgcc1:i386 libldb1 libpango1.0-0 declarative libqt4-designer libqt4-help libqt4-network tclient4 libqtcore4 libqtdbus4 libqtgui4 python
libpcre2-posix0 libpython-dev libpython-stdlib libqt4-dbus

I'm not sure if this meets your criteria for an explicit warning but the information was presented during the upgrade process.
