As a user and developer, I just hit this situation and expected -d to mean 
devel because that's what the manpage of do-release-upgrade says. 

It would be ideal to:
* Not nag the 18.04 users to update to 20.04 until 20.04.1 release is out (this 
is the current behavior)
* Allow users on 18.04 (or other) to do-release-upgrade without '-d' to get to 
20.04 at any point from the time 20.04 is released.

Are these two behaviors are coupled?

If there will be a period of 3 months between 20.04 and 20.04.1 where
this -d flag is needed for a non-development release and that is not
going to change, then perhaps the manpage should be updated with a
caveat.
