If it is too bulky to be supported in a clean way, and too incompatible with Ubuntu's upgrade cycles, and if the problem with upgrading can't be properly solved in the Ubuntu universe, it could simply be dropped from Ubuntu (and Debian), and users be redirected to either use rabbitmq's own apt repository, or docker/podman/kubernetes containers.
