2007-01-31: mvo: release-upgrader includes "DistUpgradeViewText" frontend and --frontend selection switch. Transport script for the client is missing and advanced features like reattach.
20070207: mvo: update-manager-core contains the required transport script, needs backporting to edgy-proposed (currently available at http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/backports/update-manager/edgy)
