Public bug reported: I'm running Ubuntu 12.10. I want to upgrade my system to Ubuntu 13.04 and then to 13.10. Both CLI "sudo do-release-upgrade" and the GUI system updater want to upgrade my system straight to 13.10 (skipping 13.04). This behaviour is against recommendations from the official Ubuntu documentation (only LTS -> LTS+1 upgrade-skips are supported). This default action of the Ubuntu release upgrader might result in a broken system. "sudo do-release-upgrade" should upgrade to the next released version instead of the latest available one.
