Title:
  [FFe] Allows replacing UDI by Subiquity snaps for WSL

Status in wsl-setup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Desktop Installer (UDI, for short) package implementing the WSL
  OOBE has been ported to Windows and the WSL application is able to
  launch the OOBE running as a native Win32 application, instead of
  relying on WSLg to display the OOBE.

  That implies in the possibility of replacing UDI snap by Subiquity
  one, which results in a much smaller rootfs image (besides an enhanced
  experience due native rendering on graphics - instead of depending on
  RDP as it is currently with the OOBE running inside Ubuntu).

  Updating this package to latest upstream allows launching Subiquity as
  a snap indepent of UDI existence in the rootfs. That approach above
  won't have effects outside of WSL.

  Kinetic being not an LTS is a good release to receive the fix for this
  at first, as it affects a small audience of Ubuntu WSL community,
  giving us time to learn from them before backporting this to Jammy
  early next cycle.
