[Bug 1471903] Re: -updates, -security missing from apt lists

[Oliver Grawert]

note that we are not shipping *any* package lists today, it is 0 vs
whatever tens of MB we add by removing the patch, there is no "slightly
bigger"

also this patch isnt enough i think, IIRC there are other places in livecd-rootfs where the package lists are forcefully removed to make sure we dont waste space on them, please also make the product team aware before making this change, since this limits the allowed space the custom tarball can occupy.
also check if there are any developer tools that might use the deb-src entries for pulling build deps or whatnot (and add another patch to remove all teh deb-src entries). using apport-cli will be done by perhaps 1% of the users, since you need to use a terminal or developer mode to even execute it, do we really want to make everyone suffer by this instead of working out a proper solution that doesnt waste our extremely limited free space for a feature used by a fraction of users ?

Title:
  -updates, -security missing from apt lists

Status in live-build package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  As indicated by Robie in bug 1467830 vivid-updates is missing from
  /var/lib/apt/lists on the phablet images for Ubuntu 15.04. This
  prevents one from using apport-cli to report bugs about packages that
  are from the -updates pocket. This is due to the fact that apport will
  not allow one to report bugs about packages which it cannot determine
  are from the official archive or a native origin PPA.
