Hi Julian,

Sounds good, but there's one caveat: If the Kubuntu users receive a
packagekit upgrade via Discover, packagekit will attempt to upgrade
itself while running. This causes a packagekit crash, from which the
recovery is via the command line:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt full-upgrade

At this point, everything returns to normal, but for many users this can
be problematic, especially in a stable release. While not a regression
per se, the process would be problematic for Kubuntu users as they're
the ones in Focal using this upgrade method. More advanced users can
navigate this, but non-technical users would have a rough time.
