Title:
  Software Updater "up to date" message is misleading with phasing

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

Bug description:
  Software Update is confusing some users by:

  - Claiming that software is up-to-date, and offering a release-upgrade
  - Failing to install the selected release-upgrade due to phased updates.

  Example showing the issue in Ubuntu 22.04:
  https://askubuntu.com/questions/1526235/upgrade-button-from-software-
  updater-doesnt-work/1526256

  
  Software Update "upgrade" selection (and do-release-upgrade) might ignore phasing, as those phasing packages may be replaced.

  Alternately, Software Update should be aware of phasing. It should not
  offer a release-upgrade during phasing, or might offer an alternative
  message "available soon".
