I see no code in the old lupin package that forced the inclusion of
these other filesystem drivers.  These drivers are not needed for the
Ubuntu images that we generate, they are only useful if someone formats
a USB stick with one of these filesystems and then places the Ubuntu
images on them for use with loopback.  I do not think it is justifiable
to change the images to include other filesystem drivers at this point
of the release cycle.

Title:
  Please remove lupin from the archive

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in lupin package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  lupin is an Ubuntu native package that was used to facilitate WUBI
  installs of Ubuntu. However, WUBI is no longer a product Canonical
  produces or supports and subsequently we don't need to be keeping
  lupin around. Nothing depends on the source package or its binaries.

  [  1:30PM 11986 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:~/Downloads ]
   $ reverse-depends -r jammy src:lupin
  [  1:30PM 11987 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:~/Downloads ]
   $ reverse-depends -r focal src:lupin
  [  3:22PM 11993 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:~/Downloads ]

  Having said that livecd-rootfs does try and install lupin-casper when
  building Ubuntu images but that is cruft but may need to be removed
  from livecd-rootfs before the package is removed.
