Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py has the following:

                details += _("If none of this applies, then please report this bug against "
                             "the 'update-manager' package and include the files in "
                             "/var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.")

I think saying use ubuntu-bug update-manager would result in higher quality bug reports and a better experience (as there would be less work) for the bug reporter.

It also looks like there needs to be an apport package hook for update-manager that gathers the log files and determines if this is the result of a dist-upgrade or a regular one.
