[Bug 1959579] Re: Desktop canary installation fails on curtin error, E: Unable to locate package linux-generic

[Dan Bungert]

Seb and I discussed this in another channel.
The plan is to take advantage of the ability of Subiquity to read the default kernel metapackage name from the live environment from the file "/run/kernel-meta-package"
https://github.com/canonical/subiquity/blob/47ed7dbb9b01a22b45dcdd7fbb8a814d5741f3e2/subiquity/server/controllers/kernel.py#L46

So there is no plan to change Subiquity for this for now, but we may
later want a kernel API so that the installer client can choose this
programmatically.

Adding a livecd-rootfs task, since that's presumably where the change will be done.
Removing the incoming tag for the same reason.
