Bug Description

armhf will no longer be a supported architecture (or a well supported one) for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, subsequently we should prevent users from upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and running a mix of packages from Ubuntu 23.10 and Ubuntu 24.04.

I would suggest this be keyed on kernel flavor. AFAIK we are still building the generic kernel on armhf which supports a variety of devices, just not raspi.

So I think we should extend this to some more important packages in main that were dropped in noble, but otherwise +1. And you do get the obsolete package prompt in the end anyway.
