[Bug 1691924] Re: do-release-upgrade fails

Turned out that the culprit, despite a very long list of Broken packages
in Apt.log, was this inconspicuous line in Main.log:

DEBUG Installing 'xserver-xorg-video-all' (Distro KeepInstalledPkgs
rule)

So while technically my issue with this is fixed I think some work needs
to be done to provide better, more accurate output with regards to
issues like this.

Same problem can manifest for different users with different packages
being problematic and the Apt.log list of Broken packages in my case
actually included essential packages to my ubuntu-gnome-desktop bundle
which would have ravaged my system had I blindly removed them.
