I agree completely, but upstream isn't planning to change that in the
near future (especially since this particular configuration is not
only unsupported, but the Debian/Ubuntu package includes a 100%
unapproved-by-upstream patch to make it even possible).

_Maybe_ today's Microsoft news will help upstream make the necessary
changes to support different platforms with a better/smoother UX, but
only time will tell.  For now, this issue is definitely very firmly in
the not-a-bug category (especially as far as the Ubuntu packaging is
concerned).

The argument could actually be made that the Debian/Ubuntu package
should instead drop the unapproved patch that makes this particular
configuration possible, but that's certainly not going to be a popular
choice with the people currently using and enjoying it with their own
home-grown images.
