Launchpad recipe builds for Mantic append Lunar version string

[Peter J. Mello]

I'm seeing recipe builds being produced by the buildd for Mantic getting published with the '~ubuntu23.04.1' suffix which is the same one that's used for Lunar builds. Admittedly, I can't recall if it this was always the behavior for prerelease Ubuntu versions, but I don't think so, since this stood out as amiss when I had no other reason to scrutinize the version strings on a PPA page. Can someone possessing deeper familiarity with the recipe build process look into this?

The problem is just that Mantic hasn't been fully set up yet: in particular, a new version of base-files hasn't been uploaded to it yet, so it still reports itself as 23.04. We only initialized Mantic earlier this week and it usually takes a while to get all this sort of thing sorted out. I'll poke the Ubuntu release team about prioritizing this step.

Thanks for the explanation, Colin. It's not breaking anything as far as I can tell, but I'm glad to hear someone's going to get a handle on it. Something about building for Mantic and seeing the wrong version on the package sets off an alarm in my head, and now I can ignore it and go about my work. Many thanks to you and the release team for both the prompt response and eventual resolution.
