First I have to admit that I thought the change had been implemented 
already in jammy. I see now that that's not the case, at least not yet.

As regards the contents of the wiki page, you are right and I stand 
corrected — there is not much of directly incorrect information.

I think it's mostly about my personal taste: I have long thought that 
the page is overly complicated. I made use of Ask Ubuntu to illustrate 
what a less wordy page might look like:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1451256

That Ask Ubuntu answer is not exactly targeted people like the ones who 
have participated in this list thread. I have rather the not so tech 
savvy user in mind, like a bug reporter who wants to help verify a 
proposed SRU fix.

I simply fear that the current wiki page contains so much information, 
so a prospective tester may be discouraged to follow through.
