I think the "Do you want to upgrade?" dialog box covers this as it
includes details about packages to "Install", "Remove", and "Upgrade".

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Wishlist

** Summary changed:

- do-release-upgrade doesn't how which files are currently downloaded and will 
be downloaded
+ do-release-upgrade doesn't show which files are currently downloaded and will 
be downloaded

** Description changed:

  Rather than forcing the user to review the list of pages to be updated
  and downloaded for a release upgrade (very few people will review the
  list and a lot will simply proceed) it be nice to show this list during
  the download of packages (both already downloaded and to be downloaded
  packages) with their size. This allows the user to view the list during
  the time consuming download and eventually abort the release upgrade if
  she_he spots some large unnecessary downloads.
  
- Image you are getting impatient for the download to finish and check
+ Imagine you are getting impatient for the download to finish and check
  what's taking so long and then spot all these `texlive` packages, but
  only installed it to test if you like LaTeX and never bothered to remove
  it. Then it'd be nice to abort the release upgrade, remove texlive and
  restart it (where downloads would be resumed due to `apt-get`'s
  capabilities of reusing and resuming downloads from cache).
