Public bug reported:
[Description]
In Jammy (base-files 12ubuntu4) we have:
$ grep VERSION= /etc/os-release
VERSION="22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)"
but expected is:
VERSION="22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
Compare with Focal:
$ grep VERSION= /etc/os-release
VERSION="20.04.4 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
[Impact]
Having VERSION without LTS is inconsistent with the previous LTS
releases and is wrong, as the official name of the release is "22.04
LTS". This can confuse users.
Any script relying on VERSION to detect if the Ubuntu version it is
running on in an LTS won't be work as expected.
[Test Plan]
1. grep VERSION= /etc/os-release
2. check that it is: VERSION="22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
[Where problems could occur]
Software already packaged in Jammy may already have adapted to the fact
that VERSION doesn't have the LTS string in it.
