Thinking about this more I suspect what happened was that the release
upgrade process (running 'sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop') was
interrupted at a point after it had modified your /etc/apt/sources.list
file to focal. Then when 'dist-upgrade' was run because your
sources.list file now containted focal all the packages from focal were
installed. The release upgrade process should do a better job of
restoring your sources.list file in the event that it is interrupted
(Ctrl-C).

Also for what its worth do-release-upgrade has a '-c' switch which
specifically only checks if a new distribution release is available.

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
       Status: Expired => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- upgrade to 20.04 is quite invasive
+ interruption of dist-upgrade can leave you next release in sources.list

** Tags added: rls-ff-incoming
