[Bug 1302192] Re: capabilities not preserved on installation

[Colin Watson]

Looks like ubiquity needs to preserve capabilities.  I'll check live-
installer too.

** Summary changed:

- ping is not setuid root
+ capabilities not preserved on installation

** Package changed: iputils (Ubuntu Trusty) => ubiquity (Ubuntu Trusty)
