[Bug 2107458] Re: Ubuntu 22.04.5 installer crashes on the certified platforms

[Dave Jones]

I'm targetting this for jammy (the affected release), but I'm assuming
this potentially affects further (later) series too? In particular I'm
wondering about noble.

I don't see a point in targetting interim releases (oracular, plucky) as
only LTS releases are ever certified, and given ubiquity is not a
package that is intended to wind up "installed" on people's systems,
there's no regression issue from people upgrading from, say, noble to
oracular (ubiquity wouldn't be involved in the upgrade, just ubuntu-
release-upgrader which is entirely different).

However, this should be fixed in the development version for the benefit
of future LTS' that still use ubiquity (in particular, the flavours are
relevant here as some of those still rely on ubiquity). And noble should
be targetted if that LTS is affected too?
