LXD is using the cloud image as its base, cloud image without kernel and
bootloader that is.

Example manifest for wily:
http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/wily/20151104/wily-server-cloudimg-amd64.manifest

Ignore the kernel and bootloader related packages from this manifest as
they're not included in the root.tar.xz tarball which we're using. Might
be worth having CPC publish a root.manifest too for clarity (at the cost
of yet another file in that directory...).
