Hello Philip, or anyone else affected,
Accepted livecd-rootfs into eoan-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.620.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
eoan to verification-done-eoan. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-eoan. In either case, without details of your testing we will not
be able to proceed.
Further information regarding the verification process can be found at

Title:
SRU: Revert of initramfs package removal in KVM image
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Eoan:
Fix Committed
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Focal:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
No packages marked for auto-removal should be present in a published
cloud image.
The current kvm binary hook in livecd-rootfs removes the packages
`initramfs-tools` and `busybox-initramfs`. This results in many
packages [1] being marked for auto-removal. These packages are still
required in the image and should not be marked for auto-removal.
The removal of initramfs-tools and busybox-initramfs was to avoid the
generation of initramfs in images that should boot initramfsless.
This requirement is obsolete now because the initramfsless boot handling
is now handled via setting GRUB_FORCE_PARTUUID in /etc/default/grub.d/40-force-partuuid.cfg.
[Impact]
* No packages marked for auto-removal. This is a requirement for all
public cloud images.
[Test Case]
* Perform livefs build with project ubuntu-base
* Boot *-disk-kvm.img using kvm
* Confirm it boots
* Confirm there is no boot speed regression
* Confirm that running `sudo apt-get autoremove` results in no packages being removed
* Verify that `GRUB_FORCE_PARTUUID` is set in /etc/default/grub.d/40-force-partuuid.cfg.
[Regression Potential]
* Boot speed regression
* Unable to boot KVM image
[Other Info]
* Original bug filed against cloud-images @ https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1875400
* MP already merged in to ubuntu/master @ https://code.launchpad.net/~philroche/livecd-rootfs/+git/livecd-rootfs/+merge/384105
* livecd-rootfs version 2.667 in groovy was uploaded with this patch and was verified
