[Bug 2064175] Re: buildd/h/02-disk-image-uefi.binary fails on jammy

[Simon Poirier]

** Description changed:

  [ impact ]
  
-  * In replacing kpartx with losetup, earlier this year, grub-install
-    (grub-probe) started failing for bootable uefi buildd images on jammy.
-    This failure started around 2024-01-14.

+    (grub-probe) started failing for bootable uefi buildd images on jammy.
+    This failure started around 2024-01-14.
  
-  * uefi buildd images don't build on jammy. Later suites appear to have
-    udev as a transitive dependency, thus not hitting the same issue.
+  * uefi buildd images don't build on jammy. Later suites have a different code
+    path (in grub-core/osdep/linux/hostdisk) which doesn't call udevadm anymore.
  
-  * udev was getting installed in later hooks. Adding it earlier isn't
-    altering the resulting artifact.
