Description of the change

!WIP!

This branch is not proposed for landing (yet) but rather for feedback and direction on next steps.

I've taken a few stabs at working on the server-backports PPA update but keep stumbling on problems that I don't know are legit or a sign I am doing something wrong. The last commit in this branch includes some questions I have, and packages I've tried but ran into problems with.

Other commits illustrate how I've clarified the process for myself that I'm following, and appreciate review to see if I've made an error along the way.

Thanks for starting on it and reaching out Bryce.
There are a lot of questions and answers, I hope they help.
But please catch me in the little bit our workdays overlap so I can answer anything left open more directly.

Oh, and one more detail I hopefully have mentioned, but I'm not sure.
Due to the LTS cycles, the pain the more backports get distance and the fact that Bionic entered extended support.

Already last time Bionic backports got "stuck" on Jammy and they will stay on that.
No need to bump them to Lunar, but helpful to the users to keep them around on Jammy as-is.
AFAICS you have already done that right, but I wanted to be sure.

Also I have a feeling what threw you off, the naming of the branches and then using a shorter name in the recipes. See the comments below, if that was it - we might just change it as part of this times update.

BTW, since we have been getting so late into the cycle with this we can almost do the same again in just a bit (for the mantic based backports). So maybe already in November you can be executing the new code and documentation again.
That should help to ensure we really managed to understand and document it well this time :-)
