Title:
  "Authentication is required to perform a release upgrade" is geeky

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  update-manager 1:0.174.4, Ubuntu 12.10

  1. At a terminal, enter update-manager -cd
  2. Choose "Upgrade..."

  What happens: An authentication alert appears saying "Authentication
  is required to perform a release upgrade"

  The word "perform" shouldn't be necessary, the meaning of "release"
  isn't clear, and the sentence is missing a period.

  Better would be something like "To upgrade Ubuntu, you need to
  authenticate."
