Bug Description

The apport hook for update-manager in oneiric gzips the attachment apt-clone_system_state two times so when you are working with those attachments you end up having to do the following:

gunzip VarLogDistupgradeAptclonesystemstatetargz.gz.
mv VarLogDistupgradeAptclonesystemstatetargz VarLogDistupgradeAptclonesystemstate.tar.gz
tar xfvz VarLogDistupgradeAptclonesystemstate.tar.gz

and that depends on you knowing that the log file is gzipped two times.

Test Case:
1) execute 'APPORT_LAUNCHPAD_INSTANCE=staging.launchpad.net ubuntu-bug update-manager'
2) say yes to the distribution upgrade question
3) report the bug in launchpad
4) download the apt-clone attachment
5) gunzip it
6) using file determine that it is still a gzip file

7) install the proposed version of update-manager
8) repeat steps 1-5
9) observe that file says the file is a tar file now

  * DistUpgrade/removal_blacklist.cfg:
    - add unity, unity-2d

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * debian/source_update-manager.py: use attach_file for dist-upgrade log
    files rather than attach_root_command_outputs resolving the double gzipped
    apt clone attachment issue
