I don't seem to be able to edit the description, so I'll add the SRU testing instructions here.

TEST CASE:

1. Set up jaunty in a virtual machine. Put /tmp on its own partition.
2. After installation, change /etc/fstab to use the noexec option for /tmp.
3. Reboot and verify that /tmp is mounted with noexec.
4. Start dist upgrade (update-manager -d).
5. Verify that the dist upgrade starts, but crashes without error message.
6. Install update from Michael.
7. Re-run dist-upgrade. You should now get an error message.
