Bug description:
  Upon reading an Ubuntu page that said it was possible to upgrade my
  Ubuntu-under-Windows 10 install (WSL) from 16.04 LTS just by running
  do-release-upgrade, I excitedly went to my terminal and ran the
  command.

  First it refused to run because system was not fully updated. Fine, I ran:
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt dist-upgrade

  This process completed without any errors. I then ran do-release-
  upgrade again. This time it started okay and got through most of the
  process.

  But then at some point it decided to run grub even though I am running
  Ubuntu under WSL, so presumably grub should not be used. It did
  apparently detect that it wasn't needed, because it asked me if I was
  sure I didn't want to install it on the boot device. I answered yes.
  Then the install proceeded to LXD but soon after came an error related
  to grub.

  After that it went downhill fast with at least 2 other errors.

  Additionally, when the system attempted to roll back the upgrade I got
  an error from a kernel package.
