Title:
  allow the user to choose from upgrade alternatives

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

Bug description:
  If I am being forced to use do-release-upgrade to have a supported
  update from one release to the next then the program should allow me
  more influence over what packages are kept installed, upgraded and
  removed.  Right now, the program resolves all the dependencies and
  presents one and only one solution.  The only thing I can do is to
  accept it or abort the update entirely.  This could and should be
  improved.  Aptitude for example allows to cycle through alternative
  resolutions of the dependencies.
