I'm confronting this bug now, which is particularly frustrating because
the notice on old-releases.ubuntu.com specifically says:

(Ubuntu 6.10 is still supported, but is distributed from this site for
space reasons.)

But I wanted to clarify the procedure. When do-release-upgrade complains
about mirrors, you must edit sources.list while the [yN] question is
being asked. So suspend your d-release-upgrade process with control-Z or
open another terminal window and edit your sources.list. Then back in
the running do-release-upgrade process, say "Y" and you'll have slipped
the new sources.list into the mix without it ever being wiser.

but what a hassle!
