Public bug reported:

The packet postgresql-plperl (and probably other addon packages for
postgresql) blocks do-release-upgrade from 16.04LTS to 18.04LTS.

This requiresthen requires a complete dump-and-restore cycle:

1) Stop user applications
2) do a full database export
3) stop postgresql
4) uninstall postgresql and all subpackages
5) delete remaining tablespace directories
6) do-release-upgrade
7) reinstall postgresql and the required subpackages
8) restore database from backup
9) start user applications

This requires a much longer downtime than just using pg_upgradecluster,
because the database is offline during the whole do-release-upgrade
cycle.
