  This doesn't affect anything existing, just adds a new architecture for
  the bootable buildd images, used through Snapcraft in Multipass. No
  impact on Ubuntu.
  
  Having those images will allow Snapcraft to build arm64 snaps with
  `base: core22` as soon as that's available.
  
  I've tested the image under Multipass on Apple M1, which will be the
  primary beneficiary.
