I can't help you find out what is so problematic about the Kubuntu LTS to LTS upgrade since I don't use Kubuntu, only a few KDE apps, but I agree with you. What usually helps to reduce the required effort of a clean install on my systems is to do a diff of the backup of the old system and the new system from live media with Meld. I review the changes in /etc manually after I installed all the packages (same here, just compare and review the filtered output of `dpkg -l`), restore the data in /home and that usually goes smooth. It doesn't take me more than a day, probably a few hours more when I account planning, but it's pretty efficient compared to stories I heard from Mac or Windows users, particularly Macs. Hope that helps understanding and planning your future disaster recovery.
