Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Currently, if you were to write an ubuntu image to a USB disk using USB
creator, when the process completes, a window entitled, "Upgrade Volume
Detected" pops up saying:
A distribution volume with software packages has been detected.
Would you like to try to upgrade from it automatically?
This is potentially helpful, but also potentially dangerous since if the
user were running natty and for example writing a maverick image, the
same box pops up asking if you want to "upgrade"... to maverick.
Maybe a check could be performed to see if the upgrade volume is newer
in some way than the installed system?
