[Chris Peterson <mp+480976@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris Peterson has proposed merging ~cpete/ubuntu-manual-tests:kdump-tools-instructions-pre-oracular into ubuntu-manual-tests:main.

Requested reviews:
  Ubuntu Testcase Admins (ubuntu-testcase)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~cpete/ubuntu-manual-tests/+git/ubuntu-manual-tests/+merge/480976

These tests were added during the 24.10 release cycle, however it was decided that kdump-tools will only be configured automatically on 24.10 and later releases. Thus the enablement tests will "fail" as written when testing an earlier release (e.g., 24.04.2). Without a way to otherwise link tests on a per-release basis, this MP proposes some text to tell readers to skip these tests on older releases.
