When preparing Tails 4.11~rc1 I encountered problems in the "Prepare upgrade-description files" section of the release process. After running tails-iuk-generate-upgrade-description-files I had these updated files:

Note how there are only a few updates on the alpha channel. I had to manually copy the stable channel's files into the alpha channel and fix them up (setting channel: alpha).

And while we are changing this section we might as well change the instructions for the test channel so it only creates one UDF, for ${PREVIOUS_VERSION}, since that's all we'll manually test any way (IMHO RMs are having enough fun typing their OpenPGP smartcard passphrase repeatedly for each updated stable/alpha UDF signature already :)).
