[Bug 2132284] Re: improve do-release-upgrade --help

[Andrei Cherniaev]

** Description changed:

  Feature request.
- 1) In '--help' add then "do-release-upgrade" is from "ubuntu-release-upgrader" package. Without this information it is no easy to get more info about "do-release-upgrade", for example, I spend some time to find packet name (to get source code)...
+ 1) In '--help' please add then "do-release-upgrade" is from "ubuntu-release-upgrader" package. Without this information it is no easy to get more info about "do-release-upgrade", for example, I spend some time to find packet name (to get source code)...
  2) "-f FRONTEND, --frontend=FRONTEND Run the specified frontend" This is useless description. At least "DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive" option should be described... And I am not sure that "specified frontend" is good English, perhaps, "specified front-end"?
