Title:
  Chinese raring desktop images have different format of media-info to
  that of standard desktop images

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Chinese raring desktop images obtained from china-images.ubuntu.com/raring/daily-live/current have disk-info files in the format of
                                  'Ubuntu "Raring" -  Build amd64 LIVE Binary 20121202-22:55'

  Where as the standard images have disk-info files
                                  'Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring-Ringtail" - Alpha amd64 (20121202)'

  Althought this might seem a minor impact issue, it makes the
  automation of smoke tests for chinese images impossible using utah
  because utah uses second format above strictly to create the xml for
  vm provisioning. UTAH throws the following error

  'libvirt.libvirtError: internal error os type 'hvm' & arch 'Binary'
  combination is not supported.
