Bug description:
  [impact]

  This causes problems for some users as reported in
  https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-ubuntu-core/issues/62. We don't
  want to regress those users.

  [test case]
  Build a livefs with PROJECT=ubuntu-base SUBPROJECT=minimized. Check that /dev is empty in the resulting tarball.

  [regression potential]
  The change pretty clearly only affects ubuntu-base:minimized builds, so checking that all of /var/cache/apt, /var/lib/apt/lists and /dev are empty should be sufficient, no other build types should regress.
