It is a deliberate decision to not rebuild DVD images for LTS point
releases. Each image we release imposes an additional QA burden on our
team, and as much as we would like to be able to better cover all these
use cases, we don't believe it's justified to refresh the DVD images for
the point releases. Bear in mind that, unless you are installing on
hardware that was not supported in the original 8.04 release, you can
always use the earlier DVD images for installation and pull any
necessary upgrades across the network, which, modulo bandwidth usage to
your Ubuntu mirror, should provide an identical experience.
The 8.04.1 DVD rebuild was an exception to the rule, in response to a
particular, serious security vulnerability that affected the live CD
environment, and is not something that should be construed as a
precedent here.
