I just ran `apt-get dist-upgrade -y` on two Jammy systems. On one of
them, this resulted in /var/run/reboot-required and /var/run/reboot-
required.pkgs being created:
jik@jik-x1:~$ ls -l /var/run/reboot-required*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32 Aug 10 10:09 /var/run/reboot-required
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41 Aug 10 10:09 /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs
jik@jik-x1:~$ cat /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs
linux-image-5.15.0-46-generic
linux-base
jik@jik-x1:~$
On the other one (the one on which I ran `ubuntu-bug /usr/bin/dpkg` to
create this issue) the same kernel package was installed during the
`apt-get dist-upgrade -y` run, but /var/run/reboot-required and
/var/run/reboot-required.pkgs were NOT created.
This seems... problematic.
