[Bug 1892807] Re: Error updating 8/24/2020 package libffi8ubuntu1 (possibly renamed from libffi8.1.0)

[Cody Ferber]

Fair enough, but it literally says right above the check box.

Use proposed updates if you're willing to report bugs on any problems
that occur.

So something is wrong at least in terms of when you do move it into the
main repo.

But you also might want to remove that text if you don't want people to
use it and report bugs. :x

Bug description:
  Hello just updated like I do most days on 20.10 and I got this
