Title:
  xenial dist-upgrader using wrong demotions list

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The file DistUpgrade.cfg.trusty, which is included in the dist-upgrade
  tarball, has Demotions set to demotions.cfg instead of
  demotions.cfg.trusty.  The demotions.cfg file contains demotions from
  W -> X and demotions.cfg.trusty contains demotions from T -> X.
  Subsequently, some packages that were demoted between Trusty and Wily
  are not being considered as demotions for release upgrades to X and
  will be left installed on systems.

  Test Case
  ---------
  1) Install consolekit on a Trusty system
  2) Run 'sudo do-release-upgrade --frontend DistUpgradeViewText'
  3) Press 'd' for details when prompted
  4) Observe consolekit does not appear in the list of "No longer supported" packages

  To test the upgrade using the dist-upgrade tarball from proposed
  change step 2 to "sudo do-release-upgrade -p --frontend
  DistUpgradeViewText".
