xe-guest-utilities on ubuntu 22.04

Started up an Ubuntu 22.04 server VM and discovered that xe-guest-utilities was not part of the 22.04 repository. What package should I use for guest code

I was just able to install them fine on 22.04.3 LTS; perhaps they've been added back?
Though it's showing Management Agent not Installed, it does show the OS and memory usage now and lets me shutdown/reboot without forcing.

FYI, the original Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) release dropped xe-guest-utilities, while 20.04 (Focal) had it. It was later added through the jammy-updates repo.
