I've noticed that there seem to be a lot of questions which basically ask, "how can I upgrade my Ubuntu installation directly from version *x* to version *z*, skipping version(s) *y* in between?"

There appears to be a tendency for people to post a different question for each possible pair of versions, when in reality they all would have the same [answer][1]. I was slightly surprised to not be able to find a "master" question for all these in a search.

Here's a partial list of such questions for reference:

- http://askubuntu.com/q/47807/18612
- http://askubuntu.com/q/92119/18612
- http://askubuntu.com/q/65707/18612
- http://askubuntu.com/q/45666/18612
- http://askubuntu.com/q/46712/18612

Should one of these questions be modified to a more general one which we can then point all the duplicates to? Is there already a "master" question that I simply missed? Or would a new generalized post be best?
