Bug Description

When Adam was looking at [1] bug 1688606, he noted that cloud-initramfs-rooturl
uses squashfs support, and thus should do a:
  manual_add_modules squashfs

Previously it had relied on the fact that either
 a.) Ubuntu kernels have squashfs builtin
 b.) MODULES=most will generally get squashfs other than on precise (LP: #1501834)

Hello Scott, or anyone else affected,

Accepted cloud-initramfs-tools into zesty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-initramfs-tools/0.35ubuntu2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

As part of a recent change in the Stable Release Update verification policy we would like to inform that for a bug to be considered verified for a given release a verification-done-$RELEASE tag needs to be added to the bug where $RELEASE is the name of the series the package that was tested (e.g. verification-done-xenial). Please note that the global 'verification-done' tag can no longer be used for this purpose.

Thank you!

Well... I tried to verify this using a -generic kernel, but it proved harder
than I thought. That is because the squashfs module is builtin in standard
ubuntu kernels.

So, to verify this i'd have to build my own kernel that had it as a module.

Below is what I've done to verify this at least doesn't regress anything.
And to also verify that the package has 'manual_add_modules squashfs'.

$ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:zesty z1
$ echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-proposed main universe" |
   lxc file push - z1/etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list
$ lxc exec z1 -- apt-get update -q
$ lxc exec z1 -- apt-get install \
    --quiet --assume-yes --no-install-recommends \
    cloud-initramfs-rooturl linux-image-generic

$ lxc exec z1 -- sh -xc 'update-initramfs -u -k all'
+ update-initramfs -u -k all
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.10.0-26-generic
W: mdadm: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf defines no arrays.

$ lxc exec z1 -- grep squash /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/rooturl
manual_add_modules squashfs
