[Bug 1387090] Re: boot breaks if /etc/machine-id is missing

[Martin Pitt]

For the record, src/core/main.c calls machine_id_setup() in main(),
which is supposed to create the file if it's missing. I haven't looked
in detail yet why that fails, but debugging from there is a good
starting point.

** Description changed:

  When no /etc/machine-id file is present the boot breaks.
  
  Once this bug is fixed we can modify live-build so that it remove /etc
- /machine-id from the generated live rootfs instead of truncating it.
+ /machine-id from the generated live rootfs instead of truncating it to a
+ zero file.
