My botched upgrade is actually Just Fine now. Here's what I did:

1. sudo dpkg --configure -a
2. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
3. Then I downloaded lucid.tar.gz with wget 
'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-proposed/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/lucid.tar.gz'
4. I extracted it in /var/tmp (warning: it dumps everything in the current 
directory).
5. I commented out line 352 from DistUpgradeView.py (return False)
6. ran sudo ./lucid and let it complain ;)
7. cleaned up /var/tmp (sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/*)

Hope this helps!
