Personally, I consider it a bug in apt if all dependencies cannot be
expressed such that some wrapper/meta-upgragder (i.e.
do-release-upgrade) needs to be written -- I'd have been much happier to
see the time spent writing that go into fixing apt.

If apt is up to the job then I consider it a bug in the packaging of the
individual packages to not express themselves correctly.
