[Bug 1981599] Re: Please add src:systemd-hwe package to Ubuntu

[Nick Rosbrook]

I verified that the package is available in jammy with -proposed
enabled, and that systemd-hwe-hwdb installs without issue:

root at jammy:~# apt-cache policy systemd-hwe-hwdb
systemd-hwe-hwdb:
  Installed: (none)

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Frequent systemd SRUs are required for hardware enablement (HWE)
  purposes. Specifically, many systemd SRUs include changes to the
  systemd hardware database (hwdb) rules. Creating a new source package,
  systemd-hwe, will allow changes to the hwdb rules without the overhead
  of a full systemd build, and will greatly reduce the number of
  necessary systemd SRUs.

  [Test Case]

  None.

  [Regression Potential]

  None.

  [Other]

  I have done the initial packaging work here:
  https://code.launchpad.net/~canonical-foundations/+git/systemd-hwe/+ref/main

  systemd-hwe-hwdb will be used in the "main" component. The MIR is
  available here: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1983996
