Public bug reported:
With the ubuntu-archive-publishing change in
https://code.launchpad.net/~xnox/ubuntu-archive-publishing/migrate-dist-
upgrade-to-4k/+merge/311181 the signing process for the dist-upgrader
tarball has been changed. This change should be tested now, rather than
doing an ubuntu-release-upgrader change months from now and wondering
why things aren't working (if they are broken).
Due to the way the gpg signature is generated we can't just remove it
and have it regenerated as the timestamp for the signature will not
change, so the change will not propogate to the mirrors. Hence the need
for a mostly no change (mirrors and demotions may change) upload of
ubuntu-release-upgrader.
Test Case
---------
1) run do-release-upgrade -p --frontend DistUpgradeViewText
2) ensure the tarball for the next release e.g. xenial.tar.gz is downloaded and
the signature verification passes
Regression Potential
--------------------
It's possible the signing is wrong and the verification of the signature will
fail thereby causing release upgrades to be impossible.
