Bug Description

I happened to notice that the bump from 23.0.4 to 23.2.1 in jammy included a change that dropped a number of transitional packages:

mesa (23.1.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Diederik de Haas ]
  * Drop transitional libegl1-mesa package (Closes: #1032712)
  * Drop transitional libgles2-mesa package (Closes: #1032718)
  * Drop transitional libwayland-egl1-mesa package (Closes: #1032737)
  * Drop transitional libgl1-mesa-glx package (Closes: #1032738)
  * d/README.source: Update git repo location to Salsa

Since I did not see that discussed in the SRU bug 2037604, I thought I'd call attention to it. No objection to this being closed as Won't Fix.

I don't think this impacts any supported upgrade paths - focal GA'd w/ 20.0.4-2ubuntu1 which seems to have already had these transitional packages in place. This is presumably a practical regression for someone upgrading an old bionic install straight to jammy but that, of course, is not supported.
