Bug Description

I have my system set up to rely on GPT auto generator together with Discoverable Partitions Specification (DPS). After upgrading my system the gpt generator is no longer included resulting in boot failure.

I have been able to workaround this by setting up the mounts in fstab but that is unsatisfactory.
Furthermore I work on an embedded device which uses Ubuntu as a base and relies on the GPT auto generator. In this case it is not possible for me to switch back to an old fstab file as we rely on some autodiscovery possible only with DPS.

Even though it is not used by the default installation, I kindly request to revert a366279a84730e92ed734710560ea833709f359d. Even though the default does not require it does not mean that no one else does. Also the generator binary fairly small at a few dozen KB so not much is gained from omitting it.

We are planning on shipping the generator again in the systemd package, though it will remain disabled by default.

This says fix commited though it seems to be neither available in mantic-updates nor in noble? This is annoying as we have to resort to installing 253.5-1ubuntu4 manually from the old repository archives and prevent updates of it

The "Fix Committed" status means that I have uploaded the change (to noble-proposed), but it is not available in the release yet. "Fix Released" means the change is actually available in the specified release.

I have not staged the change for Mantic, but I have added a bug task for it.
