Bug Description

[Test Case]
1) Run ubuntu-bug update-manager (do not submit the bug report)

With the version of update-manager from -proposed you'll be asked if the issue you are reporting is one you encountered upgrading from one release of ubuntu to another. If you click Yes you'll be presented with an apport dialog regarding ubuntu-release-upgrader, if you click No you'll be presented with an apport dialog regarding update-manager.

[Regression Potential]
This only affects the apport hook for update-manager so very little.

I've seen a couple of cases where people using quantal have reported bugs about update-manager, regarding the distribution upgrade process they just went through, and it would be good to have the log files from /var/log/dist-upgrade. They should have reported the bug about ubuntu-release-upgrader-core but old habits die hard and its not obvious that these are two separate packages now.

Since ubuntu-release-upgrader was made a separate package the question regarding whether or not this is about a distribution upgrade was moved from the update-manager apport hook to the u-r-u apport hook. It seems to me that we could help people out and reduce back and forth if we were to ask this question again in the update-manager hook and change the package to ubuntu-release-upgrader-core so its hook gets run.
