I disagree with your "pretty simple" statement.

So the Ubuntu stance is that a poorly coded do-release-upgrade check
should delay upgrades for all unaffected users, while the suggested
workaround is to ask users to uninstall packages, rather than correcting
the flawed do-release-upgrade check?

Uninstalling packages can lead to unforeseen issues and must be
thoroughly tested to avoid potential complications. This approach seems
impractical and may cause additional problems for users. Could a more
efficient solution be implemented to address the underlying issue in the
do-release-upgrade check itself?

Moreover, the current do-release-upgrade notice doesn't even mention the
uninstalling-reinstalling process. Since updating the notice requires
modifying the do-release-upgrade check anyway, why not take this
opportunity to fix the check properly?
