[Bug 1250930] [NEW] [d-i] merge in overlay archive support

[Michael Casadevall]

Public bug reported:

In PES, we've been developing a set of patches that allow d-i to pull
udebs from multiple sources, allowing us to build normal d-i images and
do ARM enablements completely out of a PPA. I'd like to get this support
landed so we have to carry a smaller delta, and perhaps allow others to
use this for out-of-archive enablements. I'm currently forward-porting
everything to trusty; this code has been in use for the slayton
enablement for the last several months.

I will have a test archive up to test functionality, and want to make
sure my code looks sane before uploading.
