casper attempts to construct the iso URL for an interactive_netmount as

desktop_url=http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/$UBUNTU_CODENAME/release/ubuntu-$VERSION_ID-desktop-$DPKG_ARCH.iso
;;
```
However, on Ubuntu 20.04.3, /etc/os-release in the initrd reads:
```
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS"
VERSION_ID="20.04"
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/";
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/";
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/";
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy";
VERSION_CODENAME=focal
UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal
```
i.e. VERSION_ID is 20.04. For the above URL pattern to work, the VERSION_ID
would have
to be 20.04.3. As a result, the interactive_netmount functionality fails with
a 404 on 20.04.3 unless the correct url is manually typed in.
