Now that we have an LTS out with NotAutomatic: yes, I wonder if it would
be worth looking to add the proposed pocket in apt sources by default
everywhere in future releases, like we do for backports[1].

Upside: it would make for even simpler instructions for users to test
something from proposed.

Downside: users would have yet more downloading on "apt update",
although perhaps we should expect the proposed lists to be small?

To be clear, I'm on the fence, and polling for opinions.

worth reviewing them for consistent behaviour.
