Title:
  do-release-upgrade doesn't honor apt settings

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When performing an upgrade with 'do-release-upgrade', some settings in
  '/etc/apt.conf' and '/etc/apt.conf.d/' are not honored. At the end of
  the upgrade process, 'do-release-upgrade' offers to autoremove
  automatically installed packages, that are no longer needed. However,
  although I have 'APT::Get::Purge "true";' set in 'apt.conf', 'do-
  release-upgrade' doesn't purge the packages, but only removes them.

  This happens on the upgrade from Maverick to Natty and also all
  previous upgrades.
