Title:
  Pre-released updates ON by default

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When installing a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 from an USB Stick, then in the "Software & Updates" settings window, where there is a possibility to set up software sources, on the "Developer Options" tab the "Pre-released updates (focal-proposed)" checkbox is ON by default, therefore installing pre-release packages for regular users as well.
  And not just when booting from the installation media (USB stick), but after installing the system onto the main HDD / SSD , the situation is the same.

  The issue popped up when I already had gnome-shell 3.36.2 on my system
  (completely killing gnome-tweaks), while the latest stable release was
  just 3.36.1

  Thanks to #ubuntu IRC channel and especially "ioria" user to help me
  figuring out what is going on.

  The installation ISO image I was used has the signature from 3rd May.

  $cat /var/log/installer/media-info 
  Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200503)
