Comment 1 for bug 1007543

The level of interaction seemingly required by do-release-upgrade is a pain for experienced users too.

I've just upgraded about a dozen machines to precise. Using do-release-upgrade is apparently the supported way to do this, but requires a frustratingly high level of interaction, asking several questions which seem to have perfectly sane default answers, and these questions aren't all asked together, meaning each upgrade stalls a number of times waiting for user input. Setting the debconf threshold to "critical" didn't make much difference.

For me, a --assume-yes option to do-release-upgrade (the equivalent of «apt-get dist-upgrade --assume-yes») would be ideal.
