The release team was recently discussing the possibility of point release media containing updates which are not fully phased and how this creates a difference between upgraded systems and freshly installed ones[1]. Looking at the packages which are not currently phasing[2] I've discovered that the 16.04.7 installation iso contains unity-control-center 15.04.0+16.04.20171130-0ubuntu1 and the 18.04.5 iso contains nautilus 1:3.26.4-0~ubuntu18.04.5. To ensure that both types of systems are the same I think we should fully phase these two packages.
Additionally, a step should be added to the point release process to nag the uploader of a package which has stopped phasing to investigate the reasons for the stoppage well before (2 weeks?) the point release. If the package is still not fully phased in time for the point release then the release team should make a decision about fully phasing it or reverting to the previous version of the package. Provided there are not any objections I'll update the point release process and ask some AA to fully phase those two packages. [1] Something I've heard Steve say should not happen.
