[Bug 1216187] Re: unity blocks saucy upgrade

[Mike Robinson]

The unity package should be removed from the blacklist during
distribution upgrade (or at least when Ubuntu is not installed).

A workaround is to manually remove unity, but since the error message
only shows up in the log files it is not at all intuitive to fix it.
