Title:
  Lock screen disabling needs updating

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The release upgrade process is supposed to disable your lock screen so
  that if something goes wrong you still have access to the system.
  However, this seems to be broken for upgrades to at least Jammy.

  DistUpgradeQuirks.py has code to kill gnome-screensaver and poke xdg-
  screensaver, however neither of those processes are running on my
  Impish system. There is a /usr/libexec/gsd-screensaver-proxy process
  but killing that didn't stop the screen from locking.
