Public bug reported:
[Impact]
The kernel lrm packages have a mechanism to auto-generate transitional
packages by adding a line to 'debian/package.config' in the following
format
transitional <from> <to> <archs>
Example:
transitional 450-oem-20.04 450-generic amd64
When being processed by 'debian/scripts/gen-rules.lrm' the autogenerated
contents are added to 'debian/control.d/transitionals-local', however,
this file is not included in the final 'debian/control' for packages
which does not contain the default variant '--' (see debian/rules.in).
This is intentional to prevent unwanted transitionals.
However, there are some cases where we want to transition packages to
kernels which are not the default variant in a series (e.g. hwe
kernels).
