Bug Description

TEST CASE
---------
Try upgrading from Precise to Trusty and Utopic to Vivid using the proposed version of ubuntu-release-upgrader (with the -p switch). Either ensure that demoted.cfg is not a broken symlink in /tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-TMPDIR or complete the upgrade and confirm that "DEBUG demoted" appears in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log.

I tried to upgrade to wily using do-release-upgrade -d and then noticed the following:

bdmurray@blacklightning:/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-4hk6xb9f$ file demoted.cfg
demoted.cfg: broken symbolic link to `./demoted.cfg'

That's not good and needs fixing.

This appears to be broken since the split off of ubuntu-release-upgrader and update-manager i.e. since Trusty.

I upgraded from Vivid to Wily today and again see "DEBUG demoted" information in my /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log file. This can also be seen in bug 1499421 and bug 1499847. This information has been missing from dist-upgrade log files for quite some time.
