This needs to happen *before* the flavor is recognized as official.
- There is an ubuntucinnamon-meta package, but it's not been in the archive
until 16 hours ago. So, never been in any Ubuntu release; and currently
stuck in -proposed as:
* ubuntucinnamon-meta (- to 22.07)
Migration status for ubuntucinnamon-meta (- to 22.07): BLOCKED:
Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
Issues preventing migration:
ubuntucinnamon-desktop/amd64 has unsatisfiable dependency
ubuntucinnamon-desktop/ppc64el has unsatisfiable dependency
ubuntucinnamon-desktop/s390x has unsatisfiable dependency
- The source package points to github for its seed. This needs to be hosted
on Launchpad, and owned by a team of which ~ubuntu-core-dev is a member.
- update.cfg in the source package also has a weird mix of impish and jammy
- and it needs to be kinetic...

Please also double-check the list on
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedFlavors>. Having centralized daily
builds is a precondition of being a recognized release flavor, and to turn
those on requires Technical Board approval (not Release Team). This will
also need to be implemented in livecd-rootfs, so patches welcome.
