Public bug reported:
The `lxd` package (`lxd`, `lxd-client`, `lxd-tools`) has been replaced
by a snap starting with Ubuntu 18.10. To facilitate that, the main `lxd`
package was turned into an automatic conversion package which on install
will trigger the installation of the snap and migration of the data from
the deb to the snap.
It also accidentally served the role of having a deb package which would
pull in the lxd snap.
As this package didn't really serve much of a purpose after the 18.04 to
20.04 upgrade handling, it should be removed from the archive and not
make it into another LTS release.
Looking at its rdepends, we have:
- adapt (depends)
- autopkgtest (suggests)
- lxd-installer (conflicts)
Of those only `adapt` needs something done to handle this change.
Looking at `adapt`, it's been broken for many many years, due to using a
deprecated image server for LXD. As a result, I don't believe anyone could have
used it since around the 16.04 times.
My suggestion here is that we do:
- Delete adapt from the archive
- Delete lxd from the archive
I'm marking this as a Feature Freeze Exception as two packages would go
away from the archive, but neither are actually useful today so there
should be no actual user visible impact from this.
