[ Impact ]

Some xen-based public clouds utilize the xe-guest-utilities package to perform hyper-visor based communications for boot-time discovery hostname, network configuration, etc. One of our cloud partners requested the inclusion and availability to see v7.20.2 in the Jammy+ archive.

[ Test Plan ]

Since this needs a particular setup, CPC shall spun up an validation image and run the initial set of tests and then send it across to our customer to do the final test. Upon successful internal and external validation, we'll paste the results of the same and thereby complete the verification.

[ Where problems could occur ]

Since we're introducing a new package (src:xe-guest-utilities was removed Focal onward and now we're re-introducing it), the chances of regression is almost nil. But perhaps a race condition with some other package could introduce problems but this should be caught whilst building the image.
