Drive-by comment. It's a good idea to update the docs for 26.04. An
upload will still be needed later in the development cycle to pick up
any translation updates that were made in Launchpad.

Title:
  Update ubuntu-docs to 25.10

Status in gnome-user-docs package in Ubuntu:

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:

Status in gnome-user-docs source package in Questing:

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The Ubuntu Desktop documentation browsable in the Help application,
  was never updated for questing and GNOME 49.

  The `ubuntu-docs` package is still on version 25.04 in Ubuntu 25.10,
  and the related `gnome-user-docs` package is still on 48.2 while the
  rest of GNOME is on 49.

  We also use these packages to update the content of the
  help.ubuntu.com documentation website.

  There haven't been too many changes to this documentation set but it
  would be nice to keep up with upstream, until we remove this
  documentation sometime after Ubuntu 26.04.

  The impact is just on documentation files. The `gnome-user-docs`
  package comes with language packages that simply take translations
  from GNOME upstream. The `ubuntu-docs` package bundles its own
  translations but there haven't been any changes since 25.04 to
  translate.

  [ Test Plan for ubuntu-docs ]

  1. Open Help
  2. Browse to "Install & remove software" > "Add software repositories"
  3. Verify that the page says "questing" instead of "plucky" in:
     "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ questing main"

  [ Test Plan for gnome-user-docs ]

  1. Open Help
  2. Browse to "User & system settings" > "Display & screen" > "Change the appearance of your desktop"
  3. Verify that the page says "Default" instead of "Light" in
     "Click to choose Default or Dark."

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  The packages only provide formatted documentation text.
  Problems would manifest with the Help application being unable to browse the docs.
