** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  The release-upgrader tarball includes a file, removal_blacklist.cfg, which 
lists packages which should never be removed. During the development of Ubuntu 
18.04 this list was not updated and some packages which could be removed still 
exist in that file which could prevent the upgrader from calculating the 
upgrade. This would cause a bad experience for users as they will be stuck on 
the previous release of Ubuntu.
  
  [Test Case]
+ Testing the release upgrade process from 16.04 to 18.04 and 17.10 to 18.04 
should be sufficient to ensure that the release upgrade process works.
  
  [Regression Potential]
+ Syntax errors in removal_blacklist.cfg may cause the release upgrader crash 
so keep an eye out for those although it is just line removals.
