Bug description:
  Binary package hint: livecd-rootfs

  Havoc Pennington reported that /var/lib/dbus/machine-id needs to be
  unique across instances of the running live CD, and between installed
  systems. The simplest way to ensure this is to remove it from the live
  filesystem.

  We do have an upgrade problem, though; a number of people will have
  installed from previous versions of the live CD and will have
  duplicated machine-ids, although we can't feasibly identify the list
  of machine-ids involved (and it would be huge). I'm opening a task on
  dbus as well to figure out how to do something about it on upgrade.
  Maybe the answer is that everyone should have their machine-id
  forcibly regenerated on the first boot after upgrading to some
  nominated version of dbus?
