      * check synaptic setting
      * check users gconf
      * check http_proxy environment
    (LP: #24250)
  * UpdateManager/Core/DistUpgradeFetcherCore.py:
    - ensure correct error message if downloading failed
      (LP: #113658)
    - when fetching from mirrors, add fallback if the mirror
      is too loaded to cope
    - improve logic that detects what mirror is in use by
      sources.list inspection (LP: #107983)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeMain.py, dist-upgrade.py:
    - re-factor and make code more modular
    - do not overwrite existing log files on upgrade
      (LP: #111819)
  * reorganize the imports and get rid of "Common" submodule
    and merge that all into "Core"
  * improve the debug output via the "DEBUG_UPDATE_MANAGER"
    environment
