A improved version of the patch, I tested it with:

- precise build chroot ->  trusty 
- saucy build chroot -> trusty
- trusty build chroot -> utopic (2014-07-29)

and it worked for those cases correctly.

The bug was that apt tried to SmartUnPack packages that were
dependencies but did not need action just yet (i.e. where the
dependencies of the installed version are fine now and the
unpack/configure of the updated version would be hapen in a later stages
of the ordering).

Title:
  Saucy -> Trusty upgrade failed: procps fails to configure

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Test Case:
  1. Install Saucy + the task ubuntu-dekstop^
  2. Upgrade with do-release-upgrade

  Result:
  Upgrade fails with:
  Setting up libprocps3:i386 (1:3.3.9-1ubuntu2) ...
  dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of procps:
   procps depends on initscripts; however:
    Package initscripts is not configured yet.

  dpkg: error processing package procps (--configure):
   dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

  == Original Description ==
  I'm just performing 14.04.1 pre-release testing and decided to try a Saucy -> Trusty upgrade even though Saucy recently reached EOL. I'd expected to be told no upgrade was available (or was impossible) early in the process if it were not possible at this point in time but the upgrade appeared to be in progress until the attached warning appeared (I'd guess about half-way into the upgrade process based on lapsed time) .

  No idea what will happen on reboot so I wanted to file this prior to
  reboot. I'll follow up later.
