I also ran into this problem.

The instructions on the various Lucid-related Wiki and web pages (e.g.
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/TechnicalOverview
and 
  http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/alpha3
[along with the "alpha1" and "alpha2" pages]) all specifically say that the 
"Prompt=" line should be set to "normal".  

When I saw those instructions, I figured that Lucid might not be
considered an "LTS" release at this point in time (because it hadn't
been released yet, or something like that), and I went ahead and set the
line to "normal" -- but, just as reported in this bug, when I did the
"do-release-upgrade -d" command, it tried to upgrade my system to
Intrepid.

But once I changed the Prompt= line to "lts", the program started
choosing  Lucid as the target instead (as I wanted)

Perhaps the Lucid upgrade instructions could be edited to mention that
people intending to jump directly from Hardy need to use "Prompt=lts"
instead of "Prompt=normal"?
