[Bug 136954] Re: don't ask for a dist-upgrade, just do it

This does not work. The dist-upgrader uses a more complex backend to calcualte the upgrade (ensuring that there are kernel available or a minimal system). As mentioned before, we don't know the outcome of the dist-upgrade before we start it. -- don't ask for a dist-upgrade, just do it https://bu
