Really nice, great work. This has been long overdue, glad it finally got 
sorted out.

Although the backslash line was one of my favourite lines of code in the 
archive and I'll be sad to see it go. :-)

I was reminded of

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/1921862

When reading this thread. tl;dr is that it's not (was not at the time) 
possible to seed new packages post-release because germinate isn't being 
run for -updates in the publisher so the newly-seeded packages don't get 
Task headers. Would that be any more possible to achieve now? (For 
seeding only: *un*seeding is more gnarly, it involves knowing how to 
have -updates override release.)

Cheers!
