Hello Philip, or anyone else affected,

Accepted into oneiric-proposed. The package will build now and be
available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  At some point the release upgrade policy mapping has changed which causes this behaviour in the KDE UI:

  UI:                    Update-manager:
  Never     ->     Normal
  Normal  ->     LTS
  LTS          ->     Never

  I found this after a user complained that do-release-upgrade -d on
  oneiric didn't find the precise upgrade which was in fact the user
  setting the notification policy to LTS by mistake, and software
  properties storing that as Never internally so this is at least broken
  since 11.10 and needs an SRU for kubuntu upgrades to work right.

  A simple fix for oneiric would be to simply shift the mapping with (i
  +/- 1) % 3, but that's not much of a proper fix.

  [Test Case]
  1) open software-properties-kde
  2) In the Updates tab change the policy for release upgrades that should be shown
  3) open /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
  4) verify that prompt is set to something different than what was set in the GUI
  5) install package from precise-proposed
  6) repeat steps 1-3
  7) verify that prompt is now set to the right value

  [Regression Potential]
  None, this is already broken and the change only touches the broken part.
