As a user and developer, I just hit this situation and expected -d to mean devel because that's what the manpage of do-release-upgrade says.

It would be ideal to:
* Not nag the 18.04 users to update to 20.04 until 20.04.1 release is out (this is the current behavior)
* Allow users on 18.04 (or other) to do-release-upgrade without '-d' to get to 20.04 at any point from the time 20.04 is released.

Are these two behaviors are coupled?

If there will be a period of 3 months between 20.04 and 20.04.1 where this -d flag is needed for a non-development release and that is not going to change, then perhaps the manpage should be updated with a caveat.
