Just to catch everyone up on the basics; beginning with Maverick ubiquity began offering an upgrade path that's quite different than both the standard upgrade via the update-mangler or via the alternate image.

Basically, based on my own experience, this option will only be offered if you have only one Ubuntu based distro installed. So if you're multi-booting two or more Ubuntu based distros (like Xubuntu and Lubuntu) you'll never see it, but I have still seen the option if I'm dual-booting with either Windows or Fedora.

Anyway if you look at Upgrade Lubuntu on the QA Tracker you'll now see two tests:

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/243/builds/41978/testcases

The one that's called "Upgrade (image)" is the one I'm talking about ;^)

So what's the problem?

Well, having it lumped into standard upgrade testing you first see this page where it says, "This build is valid for a week, starting on 2013/04/12 at 21:00 UTC and finishing on 2013/04/19 at 21:00 UTC.":

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/243/builds/41978/testcases/1498/results

You can of course read more on the testcase specific page:

So I'm thinking that this live-image upgrade test should actually be moved from the "Upgrade Lubuntu" section to the Desktop images tests ............ but I'm just thinking out loud ATM.

That's why I'm not filing a bug against the tracker, I felt it best to have an open discussion before doing so. Particularly since this is something rather new to most testers.
