I've run the test case described in the SRU bug in a xenial LXC container without ubuntu-server installed, and verified without the PPA package it creates the wasremoved file, but if upgrading instead to the PPA version of the package, no wasremoved file was created if there was not one there already.

I noticed though that if the wasremoved file was already present, upgrading to the PPA does not remove it. I'm not sure whether that's intentional, but I removed everything and re-ran the test cases (upgrading from xenial's base-file, to xenial-updates, then to the PPA) and verified this is indeed the behavior. The last sub-bullet in the changelog suggests the file should not be present at all; if this is expected perhaps that needs clarification?

I also ran all the same testing in parallel on bionic and focal, and saw identical behaviors.
