Well, I finally found the answer on my own. You have to invoke Update Manager with the "-d" command line option. Then you see the button. It appears to the right of a message that says "New distribution release 8.10 is available". Could be a bug in my system it doesn't do this by default (as it did in previous releases). Or possibly because 8.04 is LTS.
