Point Release process addition

[Brian Murray]

With the imminent point release of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, I wanted to let
everyone know of an addition to the point release process[1] followed by
the Ubuntu Release team.

The team will evaluate the packages currently phasing[2] which are also
on any installation media and make a decision as to whether the packages
should be fully phased or if the package should be reverted back to the
prior version.

The point of doing this is to ensure that we are not creating an image
(and subsequently an installed system) with a package version which
contains a regression in that package.
