[Bug 1998229] Please test proposed package

[Brian Murray]

Hello Samir, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into kinetic-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.791.1 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-
kinetic to verification-done-kinetic. If it does not fix the bug for
you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed-kinetic. 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)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  * The existing Ubuntu container images are being built and published
  without any metadata information. This will introduce a new cloud-like
  path and metadata file, including the image's serial number within
  (which is useful for users to pinpoint a specific revision of the image).

  [ Test Plan ]

  * Run (for any of the affected series):

     $ docker run public.ecr.aws/ubuntu/ubuntu:jammy grep serial
  /etc/cloud/build.info || echo "Image metadata not found"

  * Currently, the output will be

     grep: /etc/cloud/build.info: No such file or directory
     Image metadata not found

  * After the release, I'll trigger the Ubuntu container image
  CI/CD pipelines, and re-run the Docker command from above.

  * The output shall then be similar to:

     serial: 20221125

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Given that we're adding new content to the filesystem, there's little
  room for regression. A potential pitfall could be the future introduction
  of /etc/cloud/(...) into the minimal filesystem, which would then
  potentially end up being altered.
