I mean if you cloned some random junk branch from launchpad, maybe
contact the owner of said junk branch....

Title:
non-dpkg information and broken format in manifest
Status in cloud-images:
Invalid
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Ubuntu images have been accompanied by a 'manifest' file since at least 10.04.
This manifest file was a list of the dpkg installed packages and their versions.
The format was as output by dpkg-query --show.
That format was
package-name<tab>version
The offending change was added at
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/livecd-rootfs/trunk/revision/1706
The disco images now contain non-dpkg information in them.
There are a few problems with this:
a.) the format is now changed. Some lines will now have 3 fields rather than 2.
b.) content is not strictly a list of dpkg information.
I understand the desire to have pre-seeded snap information in this file
but believe that the correct way to add representation of that information
is with new files rather extending in non-backwards compatible ways an
existing file.
