The various Lucid release-notes pages now do include specific
instructions for the direct hardy -> lucid upgrades.

So, that leaves just one wishlist suggestion: I wonder if it would make
sense to update the comments in the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
file to explain the situation more fully, e.g. something along these
lines:

  # default prompting behavior, valid options:
  #  never  - never check for a new release
  #  normal - check to see if a new release is available.  If more than
  #           one new release is found, the release upgrader will
  #           attempt to upgrade to the release that immediately succeeds
  #           the currently-running release.
  #  lts    - check to see if a new LTS release is available.  The upgrader
  #           will attempt to upgrade to the first LTS release available 
  #           after the currently-running one.  (Note that this option
  #           should not be used if the currently-running release is not
  #           itself an LTS release, since in that case the upgrader won't
  #           be able to determine if a newer release is available.)

(Or, perhaps it would be better to put the explaination of options into
/usr/share/doc/update-manager-core/README , and replace the existing
comments in the release-upgrades file with a pointer to that
explaination.)
