Do note that the vmlinuz and initrd are not actually present in the live
layer, so I don't think there is a lot more duplication than ubiquity based
isos (which have a vmlinuz and in /casper/filesystem.squashfs and in
/casper, unless I'm misunderstanding something). I guess the modules are
duplicated, which isn't great.
