** Description changed:

  ## FFE ##
  
  Release 0.6.0 of Ubuntu Insights introduces a number of critical bug-
  fixes and a few features required for features/changes planned for this
  cycle. The `libinsights-dev` prior to this release was entirely broken
  due to mismatching header files with the shared library found in
  `libinsights0`. Additionally, it introduces additional C binding/library
  changes that we require for integration with `gnome-initial-setup`. It
  also introduced some additional changes to the internal logic to improve
  basic experience.
  
  The merge request was originally created on the 11th (this bug), before
  FF. Additionally, this is a relatively new project/package (Upstream age
  of ~8 months [1], added to universe about a month ago [2], still pending
  MIR [3]). The nature of the package is also such that we don't expect
  users to see users interacting with it directly, and that no one has
  used its shared library yet (our own integrations are still a work in
  progress, and prior to this version, `libinsights-dev` was entirely
  broken anyway). Thus, there is very minimal impact on the distribution.
  
  For additional context, this cycle, following MIR [3], we plan on adding
  Ubuntu Insights to the Desktop and WSL seeds for Questing, and
  integrating it with `gnome-initial-setup`[4].
