Public bug reported:

On an Ubuntu 22.04 desktop system created using the current installation
image without enabling package updates over the network, installing the
package libudev1 results in a large number of critical packages being
removed and rendering the system essentially unusable.

https://github.com/tfoote/udevdebug/blob/main/Dockerfile is a Dockerfile which 
also demonstrates the issue.
Building the image, which will install udev 249.11-0ubuntu3 and init 1.62, and 
then running `apt install libudev1` in the generated image results in

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libnss-systemd libpam-systemd systemd-timesyncd udev
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libudev1


This is completely prevented by ensuring that updates are installed from the 
jammy-updates repository before installing any additional packages and that is 
almost certainly the correct thing to do. But this is a punishing result for 
such a mistake.

I would expect the installation to either force the upgrade of the other
systemd packages or refuse to install libudev1 at the incorrect version
relative to the other systemd packages until the system is upgraded.

We found this out via a user report for ROS 2 Humble which is releasing
on top of Ubuntu 22.04 next week:
