Unacceptable HWE kernel behavior change in livecd-rootfs

[Erich Eickmeyer]

Apparently flavors no longer get the HWE kernel because somebody
decided it was The Right Thing To Do (tm) and to make the HWE kernel
opt-in for all flavors. We are supposed to have Feature Parity with
Ubuntu Desktop, which somehow gets the HWE kernel in 24.04.2.

Somebody did not communicate this change to the flavors and now there's
a fix for livecd-rootfs awaiting SRU to fix this, but apparently it's
too late because nobody wants to delay *a point release* by a few days.

It's just a point release, but it's a big deal as Edubuntu, in
particular, is supposed to have *feature parity* with Ubuntu Desktop,
especially in this regard. Many of our users don't have fast internet
connections, have metered internet connections, and a huge kernel
download is a big deal for them.

This needs to be fixed ASAP. I am furious about this. Delay the .2
release.
