Bug Description
Binary package hint: livecd-rootfs
In ubuntu mobile builds we plan to have install options like the following:
if $squashfs_
if $squashfs_
In the first case having the /lib/modules and /lib/firmware content inside the squashfs wastes a lot of space and makes the squashfs a lot bigger than needed.
It would be nice to have an option to livecd-rootfs that rolls an additional squashed fs with the installed package content of linux-image-* to be merged by casper for booting the install media, but put the original linux-image-*.deb on the install media as well and install this into the copy-on-write merged target device. This way the contents of the linux-image* package wont block space inside the squashfs and it will be possible to remove/replace unwanted old kernels on upgrades to save space.
