The fix is available and verified in the 20.04.5 RC images dated 20220831.

I tested both `focal-live-server-amd64.iso` and `focal-desktop-amd64.iso`.

The new "(or try fsck.mode=skip)" string is there, and `fsck.mode=skip`
as the last argument in the kernel cmdline string does skip the check.
The previous workaround of having it, but not as last arg still works.

In the desktop ISO, the behavior isn't as intuitive w/ plymouth/splash,
but the functionality is there and it works, just like in server/above.
(This is likely not an issue, the option is less relevant on desktop.)

In desktop, the message in splash doesn't mention the new string, and
if you append it, it stays at "0% complete" until the boot finishes.
Just remove `splash` to see the behavior as in server.

cheers,
Mauricio

P.S: the autopkgtest regression failure introduced by previous upload
(merged to this one) was fixed [1] (thanks, Steve, for review/merge!)
