[Bug 290351] Re: live session user and host should be called kubuntu on kubuntu

[Stéphane Graber]

I just commited a fix for that to the casper packaging branch (as well
as a few other fixes).

I tested the change with Edubuntu, confirmed that the system boots, that
the session properly starts and that the user has sudo access.
