For each of lucid → precise, precise → trusty, and trusty → utopic, I
tested as follows:

  1) Set man-db/auto-update to false and install man-db from -proposed.  Check 
that /var/cache/man/index.db is not created.  Install vim and check that it is 
still not created.
  2) Set man-db/auto-update to true and install man-db from -proposed.  Check 
that /var/cache/man/index.db is created ("accessdb | head").  Install vim and 
check that it is updated ("whatis vim").  Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point 
to the next release.  Run apt-get dist-upgrade and check that everything works. 
 (For lucid → precise I had to run "apt-get install apt" first.)

Everything looks good, so marking this as verification-done.
