Public bug reported:
When you upgrade to Gutsy Gibbon over the internet, the first step is to
download some upgrade program.
For some reason, the upgrade program is not obtained via apt-get, so if the
download fails at any point, the whole process must be restarted.
Since I have an unreliable wireless network, I had to restart the
process about 20 times, taking about 10 hours. If the upgrade process
cached previous downloads, I expect it would have taken about 20 minutes
instead.
One simple solution would be to package all upgrade components in .deb
packages, and fetch them using apt-get.
eg: there could be a package called "gutsy-gibbon-upgrade.deb".
