 sudo do-release-upgrade -d

Вы теперь выполняете Kubuntu 14.04LTS.

проблема - то, что, так как у меня технически есть установка Ubuntu и не установка Kubuntu

На самом деле, основание корпуса является тем же. Нет никаких различий между пакетами, установленными начиная с запуска и установленными после. Так, каков единственный недостаток? Количество пакетов, которые Вам, вероятно, придется установить/обновить, чтобы сделать переход. Это не обязательно так или иначе. Можно просто быть прекрасным обновлением.

способ, которым я вижу его, существует один из двух возможных способов сделать это

На самом деле три. Как я упомянул, просто необходимо обновить, ничего не удаляя. Система обновления была предназначена для обновления беспрепятственно между выпусками.
