[Bug 1811210] [NEW] intramfs-tools 0.130ubuntu3.3 in bionic-security breaks netplan.io in -security or in release

[Balint Reczey]

Public bug reported:

Adding Breaks: netplan.io (<< 0.36.2) made initramfs-tools uninstallable
by default unattended-upgrades configuration because netplan.io >=
0.36.2 is not available from bionic or bionic-security (only in bionic-
updates).

This is originally reported as https://github.com/mvo5/unattended-
upgrades/issues/165 .

U-u's email reporting behaviour is a valid different question, but IMO
when such Break is added in -security a non-breaking version of the
other package should be added to -security, too, like when we add new
dependencies.

Please provide a netplan.io version in -security that allows upgrade of
initramfs-tools either by uploading 0.36.2 or just cherry-picking the
needed fixes and relaxing the Breaks: in initramfs-tools.
