Bug Description
As the title says: if a package is kept, the version upgrade process (both through the update-manager gui and from do-release-upgrade) fails without providing the user with any useful explanation...
Instead, you should get something like:
"Package xyz is kept back on your system, which makes a version upgrade impossible. Please unlock this package and start the upgrade process again."

Actually, let me attach a tarball containing the contents of /usr/share/ update- manager.
