Comment 5 for bug 1954815

So it looks like the proposal here is to backport the impish version of crash back through focal, which means an upstream version bump. Resolving the issue in this way normally requires a documented special case to the SRU process[*], and I don't see one that includes the crash package.

I'd be supportive of such a special case for crash as this package usually needs updates to support new HWE kernels (same w/ makedumpfile) but, unless an ubuntu-sru-team members says differently, I think we need to go through that process first. Cascardo: would you mind drafting a special case page?

Alternatively, we could investigate if there's a more surgical way to add support for the desired kernels to the crash version already in focal.
