[Bug 2131698] [NEW] "Request Glance 28.2.0 for Caracal in Ubuntu Cloud Archive

Public bug reported:

The Ubuntu Cloud Archive currently provides python3-glance 28.1.0 for
OpenStack Caracal, but this version contains a critical bug that breaks
metadata definitions import.

**Bug Details:**
- Upstream bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/2094816  
- Fixed in: Glance 28.2.0 (commit 028de8e37)
- Current UCA version: 28.1.0
- Requested UCA version: 28.2.0

**Impact:**
The command `glance-manage db_load_metadefs /etc/glance/metadefs/ merge prefer_new` fails with TypeError, breaking core Glance functionality.

**Request:**
Could Ubuntu Cloud Archive be updated to include Glance 28.2.0 for Caracal users? While Caracal is unmaintained upstream, many production deployments still rely on UCA packages and would benefit from this critical fix.

** Affects: cloud-archive
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
