Title:
  dist-upgrade freezes if config files modified

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Certain packages such as proxy contain configurations files which can
  be modified by the user. If there is difference between the file on
  disk on what is expected dpkg pauses and asks the user what to do. do-
  release-upgrade which is used by muon to upgrade in graphical mode
  does not present any notification of this or a way to supply this
  expected input. As a result it will hang indefinitely on encountering
  such a condition. Possibly forcing the use of recovery mode or a
  complete reinstall to fix the resulting system state.
