Title:
  Redundant creation of oem user in rpi desktop images

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There are two (semi-related) issues which are currently preventing the
  creation of Ubuntu desktop images for the Raspberry Pi:

  The first is that livecd-rootfs is erroneously trying to create the
  oem user (and run oem-config-prepare) twice in live-
  build/ubuntu/hooks/099-ubuntu-image-customization.chroot.

  The second is that the ubuntu-raspi-settings-desktop package is
  attempt to create the oem user and run oem-config-prepare in its
  postinst. This is the wrong place to accomplish this as there's no
  guarantee that oem-config-prepare is installed at the time that
  ubuntu-raspi-settings-desktop is installed. It cannot be a dependency
  because oem-config is uninstalled after first boot.

  It's likely that the *correct* place to do this configuration is in
  neither of these places, but in oem-config's postinst (along with some
  check that it's being installed in an image that's never been booted,
  e.g. check for the existence of some sentinel created on first boot
  ... maybe /var/log/boot.log or something). Still, that fix can wait
  until it's not release week!
