Originally experienced via the wsl-setup script from the package of the
same name, but fundamentally there is some compatibility issue between
bash and WSL1.

** Package changed: wsl-setup (Ubuntu) => bash (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- wsl-setup script hangs on WSL1 with WSL 2.6.0 and later
+ bash read command hangs on WSL1 with WSL 2.6.0 and later

Title:
  bash read command hangs on WSL1 with WSL 2.6.0 and later

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Tested with WSL 2.6.0 and 2.6.1, wsl-setup is not hanging in the cloud-init wait step, but rather at reading input with the command 
  `read -e -p "<SOME_PROMPT>" -i somevar`. 

  The exact same command works in Plucky, where bash version is the same (GNU bash, version 5.2.37(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu); read is a shell builtin, not a real executable).
  So, no logic error at the cloud-init step, but some unrelated regression to debug.

  
  -- Edited from:
  Tested with WSL 2.6.0 and 2.6.1, wsl-setup is hanging in the cloud-init wait step. That shouldn't be the case since the script checks if systemd is running before checking for cloud-init, so this must be a logic error.
