Commit message

clarify do-release-update details that are slightly special for an LTS release

Description of the change

We realized today that many know how the do-release-upgrade is special for LTS, but it is not properly documented other than a few ask Ubuntu posts.

This change is meant to clarify that in at least one of our docs (not sure if more should get that info).

9+ For further stability of a LTS release there is a slight change in behaviour if you are currently running a LTS version.
10+ LTS systems are only automatically considered for an upgrade to the next LTS via <application>do-release-upgrade</application> with the first point release.
11+ So for example 14.04 will only upgrade once 16.04.1 is released.
12+ If you want to update before, e.g. on a subset of machines to evaluate the LTS upgrade for your setup the same argument as an upgrade to a dev release has to be used via the <emphasis>-d</emphasis> switch.
