[Steve Langasek]

Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into focal-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.664.10 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * amd64 images should have shim-signed & grub-pc installed as the
  bootloaders, with all other alternatives not installed; and not
  partially removed (rc state). This is the only way to ensure that
  secureboot/efi boot works correctly, but also for BIOS grub-pc to work
  correctly. This is how we install systems by default today.

  [Test Case]

   * Build images; check that shim-signed & grub-pc are installed and configured
   * Check that no other packages are autoremovable or partially removed (rc)

  [Regression Potential]

   * The above changes gurantee that upon upgrades / dist-upgrade the
  correct set of bootloaders are installed. There will be a change of
  debconf keys and bootloader packages that are installed on the system,
  when comparing with a previous image, which some automation may be
  sensitive to if they were trying to automatically correct bootloader
  setup before.

  [Other Info]
   
   * Uploaded into hirsute already.
