fuse has been demoted from Ubuntu main in favor of fuse3; it would not
be appropriate to re-promote it to main and expand the security surface
of a default Ubuntu install (fuse is a very security-relevant facility),
and Ubuntu images build only from main.  So this is a wontfix for the
Ubuntu desktop, libfuse2 is not going to be brought back into the
default install and users who want to use libfuse2-dependent AppImages
will need to install this library themselves beforehand.

Our community flavors are free to make their own decisions about whether
to bundle libfuse2 by default, as several of them did before the
release.

Bug description:
  Attempting to run an AppImage in Xubuntu 22.04 displays the following
  error:

  $ ./cryptomator-1.6.5-x86_64.AppImage 
  dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2

  AppImages require FUSE to run. 
  You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage 
  if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. 
  See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE 
  for more information

  Simply installing libfuse2 resolves this issue. Some flavors seem to
  still include it. I noticed that today's Ubuntu MATE daily still does.
  Ubuntu and Xubuntu do not.
