** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ After upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 users are presented with a dialog 
indicating that 13.04 is available and to upgrade it.  This is confusing and 
provides a bad user experience.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) upgrade a system from 12.10 to 13.04 and reboot
+ 2) observe a message regarding 13.04 being a new release and available
+ 
+ To test this with the ubuntu-release-upgrader from raring-proposed you
+ will need to upgrade via the following command:
+ 
+ 'do-release-upgrade -f DistUpgradeViewGtk3 -p'
+ 
+ The -p is necessary to ensure that you use the dist-upgrader from
+ -proposed.  You can verify that you have it by check /var/log/dist-
+ upgrade/main.log for version 0.192.11.  In the event that you try -p and
+ do not get this version of ubuntu-release-upgrader it means the meta-
+ release-proposed file has not been updated for the 13.04.
+ 
+ Using the new version of the release upgrader after the release you
+ should do receive a notification about 13.04 being available.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low as the release-upgrade-available file is only removed upon completion of 
the upgrade.

  Running ubuntu server as guest OS within virtualbox on a Windows host
  
  Yesterday I was greeting with the following prompt;
  
  "New release '13.04' available
  Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it."
  
  Which I successfully ran. Every reboot thereafter, however, I am
  continually prompted with the same text.
  
  Running "do-release-upgrade" therein returns;
  
  "Checking for a new Ubuntu release
  No new release found"
