Comment 7 for bug 1990586

In terms of risk, touching apt is always going to be high risk because users need apt to revert or upgrade away from any regression. QA is therefore essential. Normally I'd like this to "bake" in the development release first, but given the nature of the bug, that's probably not going to give us any practical benefit over testing this in jammy-proposed. In terms of the details of testing, I can't think of anything that we could do better over relying on the test suite, and I'm happy to see that these bugfixes come with corresponding tests.

Since Kinetic is in beta freeze but this bugfix is urgent, I think it makes sense to accept this into jammy-proposed immediately to maximise testing opportunity.
