Some of these are older in bionic than in xenial too.

Shouldn’t there be an automated check for this? (See also: bug 1780679, bug 1780681.)

artful is dead

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

not that an interim release would get the same backports anyway.. upgrades are expected to happen to the next LTS and not elsewhere
