[Bug 2062667] Re: Fails on (and should be removed from) raspi desktop

have annoying logging behaviour or break some other service if it isn't
running?

Red lines and an avoidable boot delay while trying to restart and
failing a bunch of times.

Title:
  Fails on (and should be removed from) raspi desktop

Status in protection-domain-mapper package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in qrtr package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The protection-domain-mapper package (and qrtr-tools) are both
  installed by default on the Ubuntu Desktop for Raspberry Pi images,
  thanks to their inclusion in the desktop-minimal seed for arm64.
  However, there's no hardware that they target on these platforms, and
  the result is a permanently failed service (pd-mapper.service).

  It appears these were added to support the X13s laptop [1]. I've
  attempted to work around the issue by excluding these packages in the
  desktop-raspi seed (experimentally in my no-pd-mapper branch [2]) but
  this does not work (the packages still appear in the built images).
  Ideally, these packages should be moved into a hardware-specific seed
  for the X13s (and/or whatever other laptops need these things).
  Alternatively, at a bare minimum, the package should have some
  conditional that causes the service not to attempt to start when it's
  not on Qualcomm hardware.
