This has become moot now that the code block has been
moved out from live-build/functions to live-build/auto/build
so passing the argument is not needed anymore.
Presence of this field helps in determining if the image is an
unminimized image, which then can be leveraged in the unminimize
script to easily determine the image type.
As part of addressing LP: #2054103 [1] an update to grub-pc added a feature to be able to ensure that grub-pc
installation can happen noninteractively on cloud images.
This change is equivalent to running
```
debconf-set-selections grub-pc grub-efi/cloud_style_installation boolean true
debconf-set-selections grub-pc grub-pc/cloud_style_installation boolean true
```
These were introduced optionally to determine the install device using
`grub-probe` dynamically instead of having to fill the `grub-pc/install-devices`
debconf entry.

There was a time historically where Launchpad buildd might have relied
on that behaviour, but this shouldn't be the case anymore as it sets
priority manually when building backports.
Meanwhile any other builds using buildd images (e.g. snapcraft)
shouldn't default to backports unless required. (lp: #2009871)

Per the comments, BASE_SEED was initially used to identify the seed in the
flavor to use for identifying preseeded snaps, and later was also used to
identify which "minimal-remove" seed to apply to an image.
The first usage is now obsolete after a refactor; we now correctly detect
snaps from any of the included seeds without needing an explicit
declaration.
The second usage only applies to installer images that are NOT using layered
squashfs, since for these images 'minimal' is a separate squashfs layer
rather than a list of packages to remove after the fact.
Refactor this code to eliminate pointless definitions of BASE_SEED and
define it only for the subset of flavors today that:
- have a 'minimal-remove' seed
- are not using layered squashfs.
The cloud-images logic is now special case for ubuntu-wsl to not require
ending with project_prefix. Readd it first, which will allow us to
ensure backward compability on cloud-images.ubuntu.com
Also Use Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/preinstalled-pool.gpg and
make sure we only update from that .sources file as we did before.
This code may all be dead, who can say.
FIXME: We should figure out how to do an armored export of that key
and then embed it in the signed-by field instead of using a keyring
file.
Template is based on the specification with some rewording for
Ubuntu Pro as agreed.
v2:
- Enabled backports by default (I did not see that!)
- Enabled restricted, multiverse security updates
- Replaced tweaked with adjusted
v3:
- Insert an explanatory sources.list
LP: #2048129
The publisher for cloud-images.ubuntu.com expects that artefacts
finishes with: file_url.endswith(project_prefix + suffix).
Now that we integrate app_id to the image name, we need thus to put it
before project_prefix and not between project_prefix and suffix.
The StarFive VisionFive 2 board can boot from SPI flash or SD-card.
Install U-Boot to the SD card.

Microsoft offically support systemd now and our Pro service relies on
it. This option is enabled by default via our launcher (Windows-side) on
first run for quite a while.
Remve this file creation from it, don’t ship it in a package as the
file may be altered by the user to add additional options and ship it as
part of the rootfs.

On WSL, we have multiple applications with the same rootfs, but
different upgrade policy:
Ubuntu: should always track latest LTS and offer upgrade.
Ubuntu-<Version>: should never offer upgrade and will stick to Version
Ubuntu-Preview: current in development version.
