[Bug 1250930] Re: [d-i] merge in overlay archive support

[dann frazier]

In my enablement work, I've been overloading apt-setup/local0/repository
as the mechanism for installing a kernel from an alternate archive. I'll
attach the relevant portion of the patch.

Bug description:
  In PES, we've been developing a set of patches that allow d-i to pull
  udebs from multiple sources, allowing us to build normal d-i images
  and do ARM enablements completely out of a PPA. I'd like to get this
  support landed so we have to carry a smaller delta, and perhaps allow
  others to use this for out-of-archive enablements. I'm currently
  forward-porting everything to trusty; this code has been in use for
  the slayton enablement for the last several months.

  I will have a test archive up to test functionality, and want to make
  sure my code looks sane before uploading.
