Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

In updating to Kubuntu 11.04 from Kubuntu 10.10 (update-manager-kde
1:0.142.23), I noticed some glitches with the Release Notes window that
appeared:

* I went on to do other things and then was puzzled that Software
Updates was stuck at "System Settings Waiting for distribution upgrade
to complete".  This was actually waiting for me to click in the Release
Notes window.

* This dependency would be more obvious if the Release Notes window
title were something like "Distribution Update - Release Notes" so it
would show up in task list and status bar. (
UpdateManager/DistUpgradeFetcherKDE.py line 89)

* It would be nice if the notes were rendered as HTML instead of wiki
markup.  They're already built in HTML at
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/dist-upgrader-
all/current/ReleaseAnnouncement.html

* The notes should include a "These release notes are available at
http://some/URL"; so I don't waste time copying and pasting them into
another window for future reference.  Either the
releaseNotesURI/releaseNotesURIHTML text could include this, or
UpdateManager/DistUpgradeFetcherKDE.py around line 92 could append this
text + uri.

* It would be nice if the release notes were Kubuntu specific (already
filed as bug 579580).
