Bug Description
I upgraded from oneiric to precise today. release-upgrade disabled all the 3rd party repositories during the update. After the update I noticed that the repositories for commercial software I bought through software-center on oneiric are disabled. Even worse after enabling the repositories again they do not work.
1) What should happen:
Commercial software repositories should be enabled automatically after the release-upgrade. Ordinary users who use software center and buy software are not aware of repositories and such technical details.
2) What actually happens:
The repositories are disabled in Software Sources with unclear description of
"Added by software-center disabled on upgrade to precise"
After enabling the repositories by hand the repositories do not work!

I accessed the repository with my browser and I see that there is no dist for precise. That's probably because precise is not released and thus no commercial software is offered to it, yet. Anyway this does not invalidate the point that the repositories should be automatically enabled.
Also the fact that early upgraders don't have access to their commercial applications should be informed somehow.
