[Bug 1134492] Re: xserver-xorg-lts-quantal breaks Kubuntu

[Malte S. Stretz]

Instead of patching apt, wouldn't it be easier to ship a script like do-
release-upgrade (eg. do-lts-upgrade --component=xorg --component=linux
--target=quantal) which does all the necessary magic? It could even do
something like

1. trigger package downloads only
2. force-remove the old packages
3. install the new packages

That would circumvent any solver and possible brakages due to that.
