Thanks Steven for the quick reply, I didn't find any hickups with it
either - your confirmation makes me confident that we can suggest it as
an SRU to Bionic.
Cosmic and Disco already have this versions - setting tasks accordingly.

[Regression Potential]
- * People will see and might not expect some changes. For example it was
- found and fixed that the minimum size of Ubuntu Images was too small
- (bug 1796037). Now if somebody did not have these issues his 16.04
- guest default size will still change. But since it fixes issues it is a
- change we want. Most people specify RAM explicitly anyway as in non API
- use cases it is mandatory.
- In a similar way, this contains many data updates and if any of them
- might be wrong there might be issues. I read through the updates and
- they all looked sane to me, but in terms of regression potential this
- is the biggest potential threat to me.

[Other Info]
-
- * n/a
+ * This package is mostly a data-carrier, it has not much active code
+ Therefore it was safe and much less error prone to suggest pushing the
+ cosmic/disco version to Bionic as-is instead of trying to remove the
+ few packaging changes that happened to "only push the new data".
+ @SRU-team: Let me know if this is a problem in your opinion.
