The major change for Ubuntu is to mark many of these as optional, like
with Debian and the old guides. As I move away from zsys, this will end
up being more like the old way.
This was also discussed in #306 and #307, but this change has
trade-offs. It can reduce the number of datasets created on the
system, but it does so by increasing the complexity to read and follow
the guide.
Then I just harmonized Debian with Ubuntu. Aside from whitespace,
reordering, rewording, the substantive changes were to drop /opt and
add /var/lib/NetworkManager.

The patch has been brought into Ubuntu 20.04.3 and is no longer needed.
I (rlaager) missed making this change to the 22.04 instructions too.

This is the 20.04 version with the following changes:
- s/focal/jammy/
- Drop the Errata section
- The history symlink exists by default, so there is no need to
create it.
- Add a note about being beta instructions.

Ubuntu 16.04 support ended April 2021.
Limited support is available to commercial customers via the Extended
Security Maintenance (ESM) program, but this is only for select
packages. So I think we are safe to drop this.
Use a "note" section for the Root on ZFS note.

When plain '--rbind' is used, the 'umount' process executed later in the
setup process completely unmounts the bound filesystem, resulting in various
forms of breakage on the host used to do the setup. When a Live CD is used
and the system will be immediately shutdown/rebooted, this isn't an issue,
but in other scenarios it can be problematic.
Making the bind mounts 'private' avoids this problem. This patch changes
the setup guides for 'modern' distribution versions but does not touch
the older ones where this functionality may not be available.

I think there might be a mixup in the errata between paths suggested
in 2020-05-30 fix and those in original/2020-12-15 fix.

This ensures that the Live hostname does not leak into e.g. OpenSSH
server keys. It's not a huge deal either way, but this is nicer.

Closes#224
"It turns out that stopping the service is only effective done shortly
after reboot (< 1 minute?). After that a kernel upgrade might be in
progress and the service stops only after the kernel upgrade is
complete. After the upgrade finishes, installation can continue.
However, stopping the unattended kernel upgrade can render the media
unbootable (because /etc/kernetl/postinit.d/zz-deccompress-kernel might
not have run)."
I guess we'll go back to telling people to wait (a possibly long time)
for unattended-upgrades to finish.

The partition script for sfdisk does not need another layer of
indirection. Instead of being a shell script that writes an sfdisk
script, it is now just an sfdisk script directly. The shell variables
are interpolated by the heredoc anyway.
