So it looks like the proposal here is to backport the impish version of crash back through focal, which means an upstream version bump. Resolving the issue in this way normally requires a documented special case to the SRU process[*], and I don't see one that includes the crash package.
I'd be supportive of such a special case for crash as this package usually needs updates to support new HWE kernels (same w/ makedumpfile) but, unless an ubuntu-sru-team members says differently, I think we need to go through that process first. Cascardo: would you mind drafting a special case page? Alternatively, we could investigate if there's a more surgical way to add support for the desired kernels to the crash version already in focal.
