The release goal to have deb822 by default in Mantic has been pushed
back, hence ubuntu-release-upgrader will no longer migrate users to
deb822.

The deb822 sources are still usable, and apt will have no problem with
them. The most notable blocker right now is that the
software-properties UI cannot handle the deb822 format yet[1]. If you
have already upgraded to Mantic, and would like to revert to the
classic sources.list, you should be able to do so with:

$ cp /etc/apt/sources.list{.distUpgrade,}
$ rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

Thanks,
Nick
