There's another way to do the upgrade, which is a bit more brute force,
but should exercise the post-inst changes adequately which may be
sufficient for sru validation:
1. Set up the earlier release, and install the PPA and fixed mod_php.
2. Manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change all instances of the earlier
release to the new one. IOW, do this:
$ sudo sed -i 's/xenial/bionic/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
3. Do the same for anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. In particular,
update the file for the PPA with the php7.4 fixes.
4. Manually upgrade
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt -y dist-upgrade
Note this may present different config prompts and such than the
do-release-upgrade command.
5. Validate upgrade works, as per the original test case.
I haven't tested this process, but used to use it long ago, and it
appears to still be the method used with debian, so I think it should
work. (I wouldn't attempt this on production hardware, obviously.)
