[Bug 2165015] Re: [SRU][FFE] Please update to version 20260814.00

[Chloé Smith]

@ahasenack thanks for catching this! It was my bad, when I merged the
resolute branch into the noble/jammy branches I accidentally mangled the
d/ch files in favour of the devel/stonking branch :facepalm: I've fixed
the changelogs now (I doubled checked by grep-ping the new
`*_source.changes` files and there's just one `Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed:`
entry in each now) and just re-uploaded :)

Bug description:
  ## FFe

  I need to request a Feature Freeze Exception to update `google-
  compute-engine-oslogin` in Stonking please

  The changes are entirely confined to the Google Compute Engine (GCE) guest environment as the pkg is only installed on GCE images. Google are keen to have this land ASAP as it's a prerequisite to some key/high visibility product releases. Their preferred availability date is 16 September but we (CPC) know that timeline is almost definitely not going to happen (but we'll still try our best to land it as fast as safely possible).
  The specific set of upstream changes was only communicated to us on 20 August, which unfortunately left no buffer before the feature freeze

  ## Bug

  Following on from previous similar package update requests @ LP:
  #2139302, LP: #2073166, LP: #2043001, LP: #1995620 and LP: #1944718,
  this bug is a request to update the google-compute-engine-oslogin
  package to the upstream version `20260814.00` @
  https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/guest-
  oslogin/releases/tag/20260814.00

  This package has an SRU exception @
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#google-compute-engine-
  oslogin including an ageing exception detailed @
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/google-compute-engine-oslogin-Updates

  [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 happen:

   * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the ubuntu-os-cloud-devel project
   * 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.

  [Vendored Dependency]

  There are no vendored dependencies

  [Where Problems Could Occur]

  There are many upstream changes in `20260814.00` vs. `20260116.00` (17
  commits and 28 file changes); however between the cloud-image-tests
  suite [0] (which is run for validation by CPC _and_ Google) and CPC's
  own internal test harness (CTF), there is confidence that most if not
  all "edge cases" and/or obvious regressions concerns can be dismissed
  before the new version lands in `-updates`

  [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/google-compute-engine-oslogin-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).
