Public bug reported:

I did a test install using

$ sha256sum focal-live-server-amd64.iso
28c4e38588dd3ecfe2b8b3ec9ecb9e09057671fdd362b4732dc6cb5ff0f8a539 
focal-live-server-amd64.iso
(which was published at 
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/current/focal-live-server-amd64.iso
 on 2020-01-07 09:32)

The installer offers to 'update' itself to what is actually an older
subiquity version.

I image that precautions can be taken server side to not have this
happen on releases, and that it may be desirable to allow for downgrades
for development purposes (this functionality could, however, be hidden
away to kernel/initrd parameters, instead). There is at least a chance
that users of daily images will run into this situation, which may still
be undesirable.
