Bug Description

[ Impact ]

Without packages ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop-minimal it is unnecessarily difficult to setup the Ubuntu desktop on systems like the SiFive HiFive Unmatched.

All dependent packages are available.

We just need to add the riscv64 architecture in debian/control.

[ Test Plan ]

Reproducing the issue:

* Check that the packages ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop-minimal are not available for riscv64 in the archive.

Testing:

* Install Ubuntu Jammy using the live installer on the SiFive HiFive Unmatched board.
* Install package ubuntu-desktop-minimal.
* Install package ubuntu-desktop.
* Reboot
* Login
* Check that you have a function desktop by opening a preinstalled application.

[ Where problems could occur ]

* The packages might not be installable due to missing dependencies.
* The GNOME desktop might fail.

[ Other Info ]

This change was previously made in time for the Ubuntu 22.10 release. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/1989733 for more details.

I'm just generally curious, does debootstrap function differently with/without this patch?

I'd imagine it either goes off the task, or a level lower than the metapackages.

Debootstrap just installs a minimal number of packages, not the desktop packages.

Ah, right. Debootstrap is more low-level, thanks.

This has been uploaded to the Jammy unapproved queue where it will need to be manually accepted by a member of the SRU team before it will be available as a proposed update.

I believe this upload will also need assistance from the Ubuntu Archive team since it adds a NEW binary package (exists on other architectures but new for riscv64)

If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!
