Bug Description

Test Case
---------
1) Modify /etc/update-manager/meta-release URI line to be http://www.murraytwins.com/tmp/meta-release (This is only necessary because Vivid is still a supported release.)
2) Ensure /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades has Prompt=normal
3) Run do-release-upgrade

Observe an error dialog indicating that release upgrades aren't supported with this tool. Using 'do-release-upgrade -p' you should receive no such error message.

DistUpgrade.cfg and demoted.cfg need creating / modifying to support dist upgrades from Trusty to Wily.

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-release-upgrader into wily-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/1:15.10.14.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
