Current evaluation

Rockcraft python plugin integration test (tests/integration/plugins/test_python_plugin.py) only mapped LTS Ubuntu releases to expected values. Non-LTS (25.04/25.10) entries were later added via interim-base support; issue left open, unlabelled, no comments.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The issue's core ask is already implemented: the file's RELEASE_TO_VALUES now includes non-LTS '25.10' and '25.04' entries (added by 'feat: enable interim bases (#946)', 6ff0c6c0), and the test file has been actively maintained since (e.g. 'feat: use usrmerged install dirs for 25.10+', 'feat(project): add ubuntu@26.04 as a devel base (#1020)'). However, the issue is still open with no labels, comments, or maintainer acknowledgement, and the issue's secondary goal (non-LTS rock bases) is only partially addressed, so a maintainer should confirm and close it rather than auto-closing.

Issue body

### What needs to get done Currently `tests/integration/plugins/test_python_plugin.py` maps an Ubuntu release to a set of expected values, but it only has LTS. ### Why it needs to get done Make it easier to test on non-LTS ubuntu. This is probably also a blocker for supporting non-LTS rock bases.
