I tested this using ubuntu-release-upgrader-core, and friends, version
1:0.192.12 from raring-proposed.  When I inspected my
/etc/apt/sources.list file during the upgrade I observed that my raring-
proposed entry was changed to saucy-proposed and disabled with the
appropriate comment.  Subsequently, I am marking this as verification-
done.

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  People upgrading from Raring, with -proposed enabled, to Saucy will still 
have -proposed enabled. Because -proposed is used as a tested bed in Ubuntu+1 
this can result in a terrible experience for people.
  
  [Test Case]
  0) Add raring-proposed to /etc/apt/sources.list
- 1) Run do-release-upgrade -d -p
+ 1) Run do-release-upgrade -d
  2) Upgrade to saucy
  3) Observe that /etc/apt/sources.list has saucy-proposed enabled
  
  (Its also possible to inspect /etc/apt/sources.list after it has been
  rewritten, when you are presented with the final upgrade prompt, and
  observe that saucy-proposed is present in it.)
  
  With the version of ubuntu-release-upgrader from raring-proposed you'll
  notice that /etc/apt/sources.list has a comment indicating that saucy-
  proposed is not for humans.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  Very little as we are just passing the --devel-release option along to the 
dist upgrader.
  
  Original Description
  --------------------
  proposed is now used as a testbed and staging area in Ubuntu+1 and is not to 
be used by humans. I just installed raring in a VM, enabled proposed, and the 
upgraded with 'do-release-upgrade -d' When finished, proposed is enabled and 
packages from proposed are installed. There's no guarantee that proposed will 
even be installable.
  
  It should be disabled on upgrade to development release.
