** 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].
