Marking all other packages/dev release as Invalid.
Per previous discussion with Jay, iirc, those are
leftovers from a previously considered solution(s)
which was not the final one (in initramfs-tools.)
And just Bionic had to be patched as later releases
were not affected.
Please feel free to fix-up if that's not accurate.

Bug description:
[Impact]
* At present, virtual machines utilizing net_failover network
interface configurations are incorrectly configured due to the
reliance on the MAC address to identify specific network interfaces.
When net_failover is utilized, multiple interfaces will bear the same
MAC address (the net_failover master itself, as well as the interfaces
subordinate to it), rendering the MAC address ineffective for unique
identification of the interface. This results in incorrect naming of
network interfaces from the "set-name" directive in the netplan
configuration.
* The solution here is to use the interface name instead of the MAC
address when the interface is a net_failover master device. Logic is
added on initramfs-tools to check the device type and virtio flags to
apply this change only to net_failover master devices.
[Test Case]
* The change can be tested by configuring a virtual machine with a
virtio_net network device with the "failover=on" option to the
"-device" option to qemu, e.g.,
-device virtio-net-
pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3,mac=00:00:17:00:18:04,failover=on
* This will set the virtio device "standby" feature bit (bit 62,
counting from 0). This requires a version of qemu with support for
this feature.
* When so configured, the netplan configuration generated by initramfs
will not contain a "macaddress:" match directive for the network
interface in question.
[Regression Potential]
* Erroneous identification of a network interface as a net_failover
master device could lead to omission of a macaddress directive,
causing interfaces to be incorrectly named.
