Bug description:
  [impact]
  This breaks apt update in a trusty docker image that does not have ESM enabled.

  [test case]
  Build a livefs with image_format=plain, project=ubuntu-base. Unpack it, do the usual pre-chroot setup dance (copy resolv.conf, bind mount proc and dev) chroot into it and run apt update.

  [regression potential]
  The change could conceivably leave apt preference files we want deleted in an image. But this seems very unlikely.
