[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1867640] Re: outdated wireless regulatory information
Anyone dropping in here thinking it might be a good idea to simply use the deb from buster-backports (which is now 2020.04), will need to consider that the signature of the default db won't be recognized by Ubuntu. However, the package does include the upstream db that is signed by an entity that Ubuntu 18.04 recognizes by default and it is a `update-alternatives` away[1]. I'm not sure what the implications of using this Debian package in Ubuntu 18.04 might be...

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1867640] Re: outdated wireless regulatory information
At time of writing, the latest upstream is now 2020-04. Looks like all LTS Ubuntu is on 2018-05. This regulatory database might not look like much, but it helps wireless users use the spectrum legally available to them in their jurisdiction(s). Debian's buster-backports now has 2019-6 available.
