The level of interaction seemingly required by do-release-upgrade is a
pain for experienced users too.

I've just upgraded about a dozen machines to precise.  Using do-release-
upgrade is apparently the supported way to do this, but requires a
frustratingly high level of interaction, asking several questions which
seem to have perfectly sane default answers, and these questions aren't
all asked together, meaning each upgrade stalls a number of times
waiting for user input.  Setting the debconf threshold to "critical"
didn't make much difference.

For me, a --assume-yes option to do-release-upgrade (the equivalent of
«apt-get dist-upgrade --assume-yes») would be ideal.
