[Bug 2063128] Re: Upgrade from mantic to noble shows a debconf prompt

[Steve Langasek]

u-r-u shouldn't be quirking away debconf prompts.  The package in
question needs to be fixed to not pop a debconf prompt on an upgrade
from a stock install.  "rely on syncs from Debian" is not a
justification here.

Title:
  Upgrade from mantic to noble shows a debconf prompt

Status in jackd2 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Reproducer:

  * Run Ubuntu Studio Mantic in a VM
  * Run `do-release-upgrade -d` to upgrade it to Noble
  * After the package download phase, the packages upgrade starts, and you quickly get prompted by jackd2 asking `Enable realtime process priority?`

  This can be avoided with `export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive`,
  that's why it didn't show up in the CI, but we can't expect users to
  rely on this.

  I've attached a screenshot of the prompt, that contains more details
  on what exactly is asked.
