(Get the code!)
I also ran into this problem.
The instructions on the various Lucid-related Wiki and web pages (e.g.
https:/
and
http://
[along with the "alpha1" and "alpha2" pages]) all specifically say that the "Prompt=" line should be set to "normal".
When I saw those instructions, I figured that Lucid might not be considered an "LTS" release at this point in time (because it hadn't been released yet, or something like that), and I went ahead and set the line to "normal" -- but, just as reported in this bug, when I did the "do-release-upgrade -d" command, it tried to upgrade my system to Intrepid.
But once I changed the Prompt= line to "lts", the program started choosing Lucid as the target instead (as I wanted)
Perhaps the Lucid upgrade instructions could be edited to mention that people intending to jump directly from Hardy need to use "Prompt=lts" instead of "Prompt=normal"?
