Comment (by andersk):
Can we talk to upstream before we try to do something silly like this?
They were very responsive when broder got them to implement the /etc
/update-manager/release-upgrades.d mechanism in the first place. I bet it
would be really easy to have them add a configuration option that just
says “before upgrading, display this warning text and prompt the user”.
