This is still an issue: Just started the disco -> eoan upgrade through
the GUI prompt I got, which broke on, I think, the second step (setting
up software sources IIRC). A systray icon showed up saying there was a
problem with the package manager (saying 'disco', which I have now
configured as the default-release, is not a valid distribution).

What seems to have happened is the sources.list was updated, replacing
disco with eoan sources, breaking because the default-release is no
longer available. I tried updating the default-release afterwards, so my
system now shows a lot of pending package updates, but I cannot retry
the release upgrade since there are pending updates.

Instead, I reverted the changes to sources.list (replacing eoan with
disco again), removed my default-release, which allowed starting the
release upgrade process again and now actually started the upgrade.
