I think Eric has a good point. Why this fix is not ported back to Jammy? Jammy is a LTS Version so this service won't work for the next two years if the fix gets not back ported for all who stick to LTS for whatever reason.

This is then from my point of view also a security issue, since if this service is not running no firmware updates will be installed for several devices automatically. Since this is what this service is supposed to do and FW updates may also fix security issues.
But the user thinks this service is there and doing it's job. Since from my experience most users never check if all the services are up and running fine as long as there is no unexpected behavior.
So the user will also not manually check for FW updates, he believes the service does.

And this service does not start on any Ubuntu installation at the moment!

Also Focal needs this fix, since it is still supported for two more years. So can you please explain?
