Bug Description
For 20.04.0 d-i is changing from /images/ to /legacy-images/ in it's directory structure.
For 20.04.1+ it will not exist at all.
For all Ubuntu releases virt-install should learn how to use cloud-images from https:/

Installer version: Latest

Description/
Start virt-install with the following options:
virt-install \
--name ubuntu20-guest1 \
--memory 4096 \
--vcpus 4 \
--disk "size=4" \
--location http://
--network "network=default"
Error:
ERROR Error validating install location: Could not find an installable distribution at 'http://
The location must be the root directory of an install tree.
See virt-install man page for various distro examples.
Looking at previous releases I would guess it expects an "images" directory instead of the new "legacy-images" directory. I'm aware of the workaround to specify kernel/initramfs directly but that shouldn't be a solution.
