per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#apturl there will be no way to

Ryan,
while your first answer demonstrated you are not properly informed on the
technical aspects of either the proper Ubuntu archives or PPAs, this second
one show you don't have any clue about how GetDeb works.
Anyway I was just trying to point you in what I believed to be a better
direction. If

Hello,
if I understood your suggestion, you are proposing that the upgrade process
should check for known issues and warn before allowing the user to proceed ?
Critical issues with the upgrade process are expected to have some
workaround implemented at the upgrade process level, non critical issue
