[Bug 1990426] Re: [FFe] Allows replacing UDI by Subiquity snaps for WSL

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Okay, it's a bit late, but since we're not an LTS, I'd be inclined to
accept this. Thank you for the diff. Could you also provide some build
logs of the package before we formally get this appoved?

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.
