[Bug 1184636] Re: lb build fails to build netboot binaries

[Oliver Grawert]

ubuntu does not use live-build for bootable images, only to create
rootfs'es ...

bootability happens from the debian-cd wrapper that uses the rootfs
created by live-build (netboot is even completely created by debian-cd
from a debian-installer build) unless the complete infrastrucure ubuntu
uses to build images gets changed to not use debian-cd for this step, i
doubt there is big interest in adding such functionality to live-build
... (patches accepted as usual indeed)
