[Bug 887705] [NEW] wrong warning about unsupported Ubuntu release when upgrading to precise

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

Running update-manager -d to upgrade from oneiric to precise, I get a
pop-up with the following message:

  Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore.

  You will not get any further security fixes or critical updates.
Please upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu Linux.

This is obviously incorrect, as 11.10 is still supported and 12.04 is
not /yet/ supported but will be in the future.  Maybe this is a warning
specific to -d upgrades, but it's still wrong and we should make sure it
won't affect users running the stable releases.
