[Bug 1996735] [NEW] Please update to upstream release 20220824.00

[Utkarsh Gupta]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

This package is provided by Google for installation within guests that
run on Google Compute Engine. It is part of a collection of tools and
daemons, that ensure that the Ubuntu images published to GCE run
properly on their platform.

Cloud platforms evolve at a rate that can't be handled in six-month
increments, and they will often develop features that they would like to
be available to customers who don't want to upgrade from earlier Ubuntu
releases. As such, updating this package to more recent upstream
releases is required within all Ubuntu releases, so they continue to
function properly in their environment.

[Test Case]

When a new version of this package is uploaded to -proposed, the
following will be done:

 * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the ubuntu-os-cloud-devel project
 * the CPC team will write new automated tests to cover new testable functionality (if any) in the new package
 * the automated testing that the CPC team normally runs against GCE images before they are published will be run against the -proposed image
 * the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their internal image validation.

If all the testing indicates that the image containing the new package
is acceptable, verification will be considered to be done.

[Other Information]

This bug is used for tracking of releasing the new upstream version for
all supported series, as per the approved policy mentioned in the
following MRE:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/gce-compute-image-packages-Updates

The updated package is not built for armhf and riscv64 due to upstream
regressions but the package is not used on those architectures thus
please release the SRU without the armhf and risc64 binaries.

The package does not build for powerpc on Xenial, but this is OK since
it is not used on powerpc either.
