Good luck waiting for a fix ;-) This bug has been known since the
previous release. At that time I was convinced it was going to be
fixed any time now. I would never have imagined that such a serious
upgrade bug would persist for two releases ... To this day there
isn't even a mention of it in the Kubuntu upgrade instructions, let
alone a fix.

This tells me that Canonical simply isn't taking Kubuntu seriously.
They are not to blame - 6-months is way too short time for a robust
release of two different desktops (or even one, if you ask me).
Perhaps another distribution which is primarily KDE-based would be a
better choice (MEPIS ?). Personally, I am posting this from Debian.

Alternatively you could pay $250 for support.
