Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * This is a hardware enablement SRU.

   * The Desktop certification suite for noble requires the command
  `debsums -c` to succeed. However, it fails because of this bug.

   * The root cause is that nmcli modifies the file
  `lib/netplan/00-network-manager-all.yaml`. For that it uses a library
  that does not handles the comments correctly, hence it removes the
  comment that lies on top of the file. Then debsums fails.

  * Since the certification suite does involve network test that cause
  nmcli, the debsums ends up failing.

  [ Test Plan ]

   1. Install the package from proposed
   2. Run the automated checkbox network test from the Desktop Preload Suite (24.04)

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * We are simply removing a comment that will get removed by nmcli otherwise, so  risks are really, really low.
   * If the file gets invalidated, the network will not be reached anymore and the test suite will fail.

  [ Other Info ]

   * Ideally the fix should be in nmcli. But it was set as low priority,
  and this thing is a very easy way to allow us to certify the devices
  without risks.

  
  Original description:

  On ubuntu desktop 24.04 image, run the operations below

  1. $ nmcli d wifi connect <SSID> password <password>
  2. $ nmcli c delete <SSID>
  3. $ sudo debsums -s

  Then the error is happened debsums: changed file
  /lib/netplan/00-network-manager-all.yaml (from ubuntu-settings
  package)

  it seems the netplan update the file belonged to ubuntu-settings that cause the debsums failed.
