[Bug 288407] No Ubuntu codename updates since Zesty

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=288407

            Bug ID: 288407
           Summary: No Ubuntu codename updates since Zesty
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: vince@vincentbentley.co.uk

I used debootstrap today as I needed to test an Ubuntu based Docker container
using Podman on FreeBSD 14.3 with Linux compatibility enabled. The command I
used was:

  $ debootstrap --arch="amd64" noble /compat/ubuntu

It fails complaining that there is no script for 'noble'. The majority of the
Ubuntu scripts in /usr/local/share/debootstrap/scripts are symlinked to one
script, 'gutsy'.

Symlinks are missing for the following Ubuntu version codenames. 

artful
bionic
cosmic
disco
eoan
focal
groovy
hirsute
impish
jammy
kinetic
lunar
mantic
noble
oracular
plucky

If there are no plans to update debootstrap on every new Ubuntu release, can it
at least be updated to acknowledge LTS versions every couple of years?

I updated the missing links using the following shell script run as root:

#!/bin/sh
ubuntu_codenames="artful\
 bionic\
 cosmic\
 disco\
 eoan\
 focal\
 groovy\
 hirsute\
 impish\
 jammy\
 kinetic\
 lunar\
 mantic\
 noble\
 oracular\
 plucky"
cd /usr/local/share/debootstrap/scripts
for codename in $ubuntu_codenames; do
  echo "${codename}"
  if ! [ -L "${codename}" ]; then
    ln -s gutsy ${codename}
  fi
done
ls -l
# End of file
