Comment 12 for bug 1976198

> If this bug is fixed before Ubuntu 22.04.1, then anyone installing from the new release images wouldn't have anything extra to download either.

I think that's a good reason to release updates that are staged this way prior to rolling point releases.

> My opinion is that this is a FTBFS kind of bug. Reverse dependencies of libsdl2-dev might not build until this bug is fixed.

This is hypothetical, and thus difficult for me to reason about. If there's an actual case in the archive that can be identified, then that would help me to consider this point. Right now, the only users I understand to be affected are developers attempting to use distribution packages as dependencies for builds of outside projects. To be clear, I think is a use case that ought to be supported. It's just about the trade-off involved.

> Is it the position of the Ubuntu SRU team that FTBFS bugs only need to get fixed in jammy-proposed and not jammy-updates?

It's a good question. I can't speak for the entire SRU team. I can't think of a reason that it would be necessary to push FTBFS fixes to the updates pockets, except perhaps for the point release case that you've identified above.

Anyway, I don't feel strongly about this. Feel free to remove the tag if you wish.
