Title:
  [FFe] UDI snap no longer strictly needed for WSL OOBE

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Desktop Installer (UDI, for short) package implementing the WSL
  OOBE has been ported to Windows and the WSL application is able to
  launch the OOBE running as a native Win32 application, instead of
  relying on WSLg to display the OOBE.

  That implies in the possibility of replacing UDI by Subiquity snap,
  which results in a smaller rootfs image (besides an enhanced
  experience due native rendering on graphics - instead of depending on
  RDP as it is currently with the OOBE running inside Ubuntu).

  Fixing this would require:

  - replace UDI by Subiquity snaps in the WSL seed;
  - updating the wsl-setup package to the latest upstream (which is able to mount and launch Subiquity from its snap) LP: #1990426 .

  Following the approach above won't have effects outside of WSL.

  Kinetic being not an LTS is a good release to receive the fix for this
  first, as it affects a small audience of Ubuntu WSL community, giving
  us time to learn from them before backporting this to Jammy early next
  cycle.
