Initial testing shows that the .iso image is, indeed, not being built with packages in -proposed. This is not ideal for testing.
The only way I could test this is by installing the latest daily and then install the `kubuntu-settings-desktop/noble-proposed` and the `kubuntu-desktop/noble-proposed` package, with "--no-install- recommends". This does, indeed, not install the `plasma-welcome` package, meaning the packages work as intended. That said, logic dictates that this should function as intended.
