    - fix an issue in handling dirty output in regenerate baseexec
    - fix an issue in generating ~/.config/baseexec
    - wslusc: fix an issue that will cause generated shortcut cannot be opened for some users
  * debian/wsl-integration.sh: Fix issue that space in username breaks wsl-integration.sh. (LP: #1869878)
  * debian/wsl-integration.sh: Use /tmp folder for system users who do not have $HOME. (LP: #1859509)

I concur on the urgency of these fixes at this late date.

wslu is a distinguishing feature of Ubuntu on WSL. It is important to address these bugs in 20.04.

callmepk is the upstream author of wslu so I have confidence in his patches.

I am running a build from callmepk's branch and have not encountered any issues in my testing.

We will continue testing as this moves through the review process.
