The release upgrader downloads information about packages from the
release you are upgrading to, Trusty in this case, and then tries to
calculate the upgrade.  The upgrade calculation has been failing due to
package transitions.  However, with the changes I've made the release
upgrader will now be able to calculate the upgrade correctly.
