I'm not sure. Off-the-cuff I think some additional documentation will be
needed.

I should say also that I believe upgrading using the live image is
preferable but I need to prove that :^)

I was only able to get the Upgrade (image) test added during the Raring
cycle and I think a lot of people don't even know it exists
............... or how it works :^(

The whole story is long and I had to butt heads with a member of the
installer-team, and I lost! I think if I'd not lost the live image could
have worked quite well to recover from an interrupted upgrade via
'release-upgrader'.

Give me a couple of weeks to post a proper response.
