My experience with focal-proposed and accountsservice 0.6.55-0ubuntu12~20.04.1 has been that the update causes the currently executing 'sudo apt-get update' to prematurely abort when the gnome shell crashes. In my case, this left the linux-kerrnel packages only half configured. My understanding is that 'sudo apt-get update' doesn't fully run as a background process when executed from a Gnome Terminal window. So when the gnome shell crashes back to gdm, the current update is stopped at that point.

I believe the proper way to test this package is on a machine currently on focal-updates that is then switched to focal-proposed so that the update occurs against a real-world set of packages and not just the accountsservice packages alone.
