This package is needed by ubuntu-advantage-tools for cloud images
only. u-a-t ultimately will drop this entirely in their next release.
(cf: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-pro-client/issues/2692)
So instead of putting this in the seeds and then having to deal
with the seed changes to Mantic (after its release) and SRU of
ubuntu-meta, I'd rather have changes in livecd-rootfs done. Once
python3-systemd dependency is dropped from u-a-t, we'll drop it
from livecd-rootfs in Mantic+, too.
fuse3 was previously installed through recommends but with minimized images we no longer install recommends packages.
It is only required when preseeding snaps so does not need to be present in all minimized images so does not
need to be in the cloud-minimal seed.
As a result of not installing recommended packages the packages required to run `grub-install`
are no longer installed by default.
To ensure we can successfully run `grub-install` we install both `grub-pc` and `grub2-common`
packages.
As a result of not installing recommended packages we have dangling symlink `/boot/initrd.img.old`
As per the preceding `/boot/initrd.img` cleanup. Cleanup of `/boot/initrd.img.old`
only happens if it is a dangling symlink.
These `rm` commands also have `--verbose` flags now to make it easier when debugging logs
For minimized images we do not want to install any recommended packages.
We can do this by setting APT::Install-Recommends to false in apt config
or by passing --no-install-recommends to apt-get install.
Armhf images install the `generic-lpae` kernel, while other ARCHes use the
standard `generic` kernel when building the "virtual" image flavour.
Code was looking for a kernel binary ending with -generic in armhf
builds, and failed. Add a special condition to handle armhf builds'
kernel ending with `generic-lpae`

During Realtime kernel image build, there was an error during
validating snap seed which derivative images copied 5.19
apparmor feature and can't validate when Realtime kernel (5.15)
installed [0].
To prevent this, bind correct apparmor feature with kernel
version.

With the switch to the ubuntu-cloud-minimal seed, we
don't really need to purge anything now. On the contrary,
the purging of packages if not installed, fails with the
exit code of 100.
EDK II is available for the StarFive VisionFive 2 board. As it is larger
than U-Boot we need to increase the size of the loader 2 partition to
accommodate it.

Now that we have the cloud-minimal seed for minimized cloud
image builds, we should drop all the workarounds and hacks
we once needed when we were using the server seed. We can
directly use the new metapackage and get rid of the tasks and
other autoremoves, et al.
Revert this change for now as /boot then becomes a FAT partition which
breaks DPKG requirements[1]. This change is going to be re-evaluated and
maybe introduced in a different way.
This is not a clean revert because of 3282efb ("ubuntu-cpc: cleanup
disk-images-uefi.binary") which we want to keep.

Package linux-allwinner has a kernel with the generic flavour as
dependency. Add this translation to our code checking the correct
installation.

According to the kernel team the Linux Meta package linux-allwinner shall
continue to be supplied. It will depend on generic packages.

Remove kvm-image altogether.
Previously for minimal image replace_kernel function replaced virtual
images with kvm, and called force_boot_without_initramfs. Now simply
call force_boot_without_initramfs for minimal image without replacing
kernel flavour.
This also means minimal images can now be built for arm64 and armhf.
