Title:
  [SRU] kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade erroneously calls "-m"

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Questing:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Resolute:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Testing Kubuntu or Ubuntu Studio upgrades is done in a wrapper script
  called kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade. Currently, if a developer wishes
  to upgrade Questing to Resolute in a test, they are unable.

  -m was deprected in plucky. It was removed, but not from questing and,
  therefore, is bugged there.

  [Test Case]

  From a terminal in Ubuntu Studio or Kubuntu 25.10, run:

  kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade

  Expected: pkexec prompt and subsequent KDE frontend for the release
  upgrader.

  Actual: do-release-upgrade: error: no such option: -m

  [What could go wrong]

  There could be typo in the MP, but I doubt it. The solution is simply
  to remove `-m desktop` from the command line, which appears to be done
  in the code, but it was never released.
