I don't know, open a browser maybe? Or maybe the update manager for (K)Ubuntu 
could display the release notes before starting the upgrade.
Oh, it does¹?

Yes.

With Ubuntu being such a close relative of Debian, I assumed that Ubuntu did 
the same thing. Foolish me. They try at least². 

But I don't care much for this discussion, as my distro of choice didn't force 
Amarok 2.0 on me, and I don't push KUbuntu to my friends anymore.

   (I'm assuming that KUbuntu still has its own installer which also displays 
   relevant release notes.)
