Title:
  do-release-upgrade pauses in the middle to ask an uninteresting
  question

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  New
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upgrading to the next release can take HOURS. So last night I started
  it up and went to bed, expecting it to be finished by the time I woke
  up.

  Unfortunately, in the middle it stops to ask whether obsoleted
  packages should be deleted, so when I got downstairs after my night's
  sleep it had been sitting there for hours waiting for me to tell it
  that indeed I didn't need it to keep any obsolete packages.

  Here are what I think the options are, in preference order:

  1. Don't ask the question. Is there anyone in the world who wants to keep obsolete packages?
  2. Ask it right at the beginning, before the downloading begins.
  3. Ask at the beginning if you want to be asked in the middle whether obsoleted packages should be deleted.
