Some of these people are running derivatives which appear to be taking Ubuntu's SRUs directly but also modifying some packages - that seems a bit risky. But not all of them. I can see that this could maybe happen if update-notifier runs when you're in the middle of a release upgrade from bionic, if ubuntu-drivers-common gets updated first and then the old update-notifier runs before it itself gets updated. (side note: if that can happen, it seems undesirable - we don't want update-notifier running when there's other apt operations ongoing including release upgrading) Do you think we should follow up with an update to set a version on this dep?
