Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

When running update-manager -c -d (feisty to gutsy, but I pre-installed
the gutsy version of update-manager in order to get the fix for bug
732463) the stage "Preparing the upgrade" does not produce consistent,
or even comprehensible, progress output. At various times the progress
summary stated "fetching file 1 of 29", "fetching file 1 of 2",
"fetching file 6 of 25" and "fetching file 20 of 35". It eventually
settled on 35 files in total, but only after guessing 29, 2 and 25 in
that order. In addition, the progress bar was full very early in a
process that took several minutes.

This makes it almost impossible to guess how long any stage of the
process might take, and in fact encourages the user to expect it to be
considerably faster than it actually is... several times.
