Bug description:
  As a long-time-user of ?ubuntu, with apt-get as tool of choice for updates/upgrades I wrote a daily script for updates, with 'dist-upgrade'. 
  In all earlier years, it wouldn't actually do an upgrade of a ?ubuntu version; just all packages including new ones. Version updates had to be initiated manually, and I was always asked if I really wanted the new ?ubuntu version. Sounds appropriate.

  Last night when it (dist-upgrade), it just gave me 20.04. No questions asked. I for one consider this kind of intrusive, though. 
  It *might* have to make with me trying 'sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop' a number of times earlier; just to *check* if the upgrade was on offer; but this is only a guess.

  In *any* case, a pop-up asking "Are you sure? Are you connected
  through an adequate pipe? Are you sitting with full batteries; better
  a power supply?" would be convenient; since I am using my PC for
  urgent duties, and didn't want to fiddle with unexpected upgrade bugs.
