[Bug 1584671] [NEW] [dropped system-image support in 16.10] Support /etc/writable/ for system-image for timedated and hostnamed

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

Up to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS we've had http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-
systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Support-system-image-read-only-
etc.patch?h=ubuntu-xenial

As this is our only remaining Ubuntu delta in yakkety, we won't build
Touch products from yakkety (we'll move from vivid to xenial), and long-
term touch will be moved away from system-image to snappy, I'll sync
systemd in yakkety. This avoids having to drag this unnecessary patch
along all the time. We can reinstate it if we need to build a system-
image based product from >= 16.10.
