[Bug 1398478] Re: 14.04.1 daily image fails to install on a ppc64el guest

[Colin Watson]

Adam: This is because both e.g. serial-modules and squashfs-modules are
pulled in by germinate from linux-udebs-generic, which depends on the
latest versions in -proposed; but serial-modules is also pulled in from
debian-installer-udebs, which depends on serial-modules-3.13.0-40
-generic-di since debian-installer was last built against 3.13.0-40.

Unfortunately, the use of linux-udebs-generic, while convenient for
other reasons, means that we can't use the usual Kernel-Version trick in
seeds to limit to only the relevant kernel version, because linux-udebs-
generic is an unversioned package name and so only the latest one is
available in Packages.  Using this unversioned package name means that
debian-installer *must* be kept up to date, I think.

Bug description:
  Installing 14.04.1 daily (2014-12-02) image on a guest (Using Ubuntu
  as the host) fails, with the following screen:

  Installation step failed               
  An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item  again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The 
  failing step is: Install the system .

  Looking at syslog it says:

  /cdrom/install/filesystem.squashfs has failed to be mounted as
  squashfs.

  I am also attaching the full log here.
