> - Drop ubuntu-{14.04,16.04} transitional binary packages
You can't just drop binary packages in an SRU like that, even if they
are transitional. The drop happens in the devel release. There are very
specific circumstances where it can be done in an SRU, and it usually
involves package renames that are unavoidable.
To do it in an SRU, you have to show that it's safe. Specifically, since
this SRU is going back to jammy, you have to show that it should have
happened when jammy was released.
Furthermore, you now need to demonstrate that release upgrades to jammy
with these packages dropped in jammy, but present in focal, is also
safe.
You need to show when was the last time these packages had real content,
and when they became transitional.
You have to demonstrate that if someone runs "apt-get install <removed
package>" in all these stable releases, that they a) won't get an error;
b) will get the same content installed in the end (even if via another
package).
Remember that stable release users can also be checking for the
installed package by name, i.e., some script could be doing "dpkg -l
snapd-xdg-open".
