Bug Description
Test Case
---------
1) Install a system with the ubuntukylin-desktop metapackage and no other supported metapackage e.g. ubuntu-desktop
2) Test upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10
3) Quit the upgrade before it actually starts e.g say No after the upgrade is calculated
4) Observe the following in /var/log/
"DEBUG need_server_mode(): run in 'desktop' mode, (because of key deps for 'ubuntu-desktop')"
"DEBUG none of the '['ubuntu-desktop', 'kubuntu-desktop', 'xubuntu-core', 'xubuntu-desktop', 'ubuntustudio-
"guessing 'ubuntu-desktop' as missing meta-pkg"
With the version of distupgrader tarball from -proposed you should not see any of the three messages above.

At least part of the problem here is that the ubuntu- release- upgrader has no support for the ubuntukylin-desktop meta package.
From main.log:
2016-10-12 18:48:07,325 DEBUG /openCache(), new cache size 75232
2016-10-12 18:48:07,326 DEBUG need_server_mode(): can not find a desktop meta package or key deps, running in server mode
2016-10-12 18:48:07,326 DEBUG checkViewDepends()
And from ubuntu- release- upgrader' s DistUpgrade. cfg.trusty:
10 # Distro contains global information about the upgrade ubuntu- desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-core, desktop, mythbuntu-desktop, gnome-desktop, mate-cloudtop, ubuntu-mate-desktop
