The following upgrades have been deferred due to phasing:

  ubuntu-release-upgrader-core ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.


Imho it shouldn't say in the first message that 7 packages can be upgraded, as they are actually cannot be upgraded as they are being deferred. I would prefer nothing being mentioned or mention that 7 are deferred.
