I can't see where it came up, but are you looking at upgrading the whole system (i.e. from Oneiric to Precise) or some individual component? For the whole OS, Oneiric (11.10) to Precise (12.04) is supported, as is Karmic (10.04) 10.04 to Precise (since upgrades between consecutive normal releases are supported, and so are releases between consecutive LTS release, and Precise is an LTS). If you're running something else, the supported path is to iterate through each release (so, for example, upgrade from 11.04 -> 11.10 th3n 11.10 -> 12.04).
