Public bug reported:
The -d switch for update-manager is documented as 'Check if upgrading to
the latest devel release is possible'. This implies that no matter what
release you are running the -d switch check if you can upgrade to the
devel release (Artful right now) however, this isn't actually what the
-d switch does. Right now the -d switch will take you to the next
unsupported release of Ubuntu, so in a few weeks will upgrade you from X
to Y (since its unsupported). That's not really what we ant either.
The -d switch will be changed so that it only upgrades you to the
development release of Ubuntu if you are running the release immediately
before the development release. So right now it would only work from
Zesty to Artful.
The help documentation for -d needs to be changed to reflect what it
actually does.
