I understand that this type of update is needed to support the HWE
kernels in Focal, and to that end I think it's in principle acceptable
to SRU this under the HWE kernel exception we have already.
However, now that we seem to have a plan to revitalise the backports
pocket, I wonder if that might be a more suitable target for this
update, on the basis of the regression risk for existing users. The
biggest different is that users have to opt in to receiving the
backport, but perhaps that isn't a big hurdle for the developer use case
for this package?
To be clear, it's not my intention to close off the path to -updates
here, if you really want that; I'm just presenting -backports as an
alternative option which might be a safer approach if that works for
everyone.
To consider -updates we need an answer to Lukasz's question in comment
7, so I'm marking the task as Incomplete accordingly.
