Bug description:
  TEST CASE
  ---------
  Try upgrading from Precise to Trusty and Utopic to Vivid using the proposed version of ubuntu-release-upgrader (with the -p switch). Either ensure that demoted.cfg is not a broken symlink in /tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-TMPDIR or complete the upgrade and confirm that "DEBUG demoted" appears in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log.

  I tried to upgrade to wily using do-release-upgrade -d and then
  noticed the following:

  bdmurray at blacklightning:/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-4hk6xb9f$ file demoted.cfg
  demoted.cfg: broken symbolic link to `./demoted.cfg'

  That's not good and needs fixing.
