Bug Description

[Impact]
Breaks image build for the subiquity image (ubuntu-server-live livefs project). This impacts infrastructure.

[Test case]
Rebuild ubuntu-server-live; verify that livefs.ubuntu-server.kernel-generic and livefs.ubuntu-server.initrd-generic are being built.

[Regression potential]
Watch out for failures to build ubuntu-server and ubuntu-server-live livefs projects. Any other failures to build livefs projects would also be suspect.

--

kernel-generic and initrd-generic are not being built, because there is a special case for ubuntu-server to skip that (as it uses the d-i kernel/initrd). It also applies to some other images which don't need the typical kernel images.

Don't do this for ubuntu-server:live; as it's a live image it needs to boot, and we can't use the d-i images for that (since we don't want to start d-i).

Builds of ubuntu-server-live look good using -proposed for both amd64 and i386; the initrd and kernel artifacts are now built.

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.441.2

---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.441.2) zesty; urgency=medium

  * The ubuntu-server:live should use a casper-based initramfs to work
    correctly. (LP: #1682460)

livecd-rootfs (2.441.1) zesty; urgency=medium

  * Setup kernel properly for ubuntu-server:live; we *do* want to build
    kernel-generic and initrd-generic for this image. (LP: #1682460)
