When we encounter a failure in 'lb binary' the launchpad builders can
only surface the build output from stdout. If the binary hook failure
implicates the archive we can not determine fault without the apt
proxy log. This patch will dump the proxy log to stdout to aid in
debugging these failures.
The livecd.ubuntu-cpc.ext4 that is present in each build (plus kernel
and initrd) are not renamed from /build/binary/boot/filsystem.ext4
and friends until after the binary hooks are run, so this patch moves
from trying to perform this cleanup in a binary hook. Now the cleanup
will be run at the end of live-build/binary for the ubuntu-cpc project.
This is another thing that goes unused when there is no human console user
(and we already don't have the locales themselves present on a minimal
image).

* Inject a proxy into the build providing a snapshot view of the package repo.
When the REPO_SNAPSHOT_STAMP variable is set, the auto/build script will attempt
to launch a transparent HTTP proxy on port 8080, and insert an iptables rule to
redirect all outgoing HTTP requests to this proxy.
The proxy, contained in the `magic-proxy` Python script, examines each request
and silently overrides those pointing to InRelease files or files that are
listed in InRelease files. It will instead provide the contents of the requested
file as it was at REPO_SNAPSHOT_STAMP, by downloading the corresponding asset
"by hash".
* Use series files with dependency handling to generate hook symlinks dynamically
This patch currently only applies to the "ubuntu-cpc" project.
More and more logic has been going into the hook scripts to decide
under which conditions they should run or not. As we are moving
to parallelized builds of image sets, this will get even more
complicated. Base hooks will have to know which image sets they
belong to and modification of the dependency chain between scripts
will become more complicated and prone to errors, as the number of
image sets grows.
This patch, and prior, introduce explicit ordering and dependency
handling for scripts through the use of `series` files and an
explicit syntax for dependency specification.
Minimize the number of manually installed packages in images by marking
dependencies of metapackages as automatically installed.
Squashed commits:
* minimize-manual.py: Followup with some cleanup, correct permissions
* fixup: Do not assume current directory
* Reorganize minimal-manual file location.
* lubuntu: Select lubuntu-gtk-core task as well, so we get the HWE filter
applied to the explicit dependencies it has on Xorg-recommended packages.
* lubuntu: Manually install some packages that fall out due to the above.
When no channel is given for a pre-seeded snap, the channel
should be stable/ubuntu-XX.YY to match Ubuntu policy.
This patch adds the LB_DISTRIBUTION var to config/{binary,chroot}
to have a common way of determining the Ubuntu XX.YY version
number between hooks and auto/build.
