  [Impact]
  
  Utopic's new gfxboot lost the ability to load data from outside the
  bootlogo archive, intead requiring all data to be in the archive itself.
  live-build needs to pack relevant data into the archive to get a working
  boot screen again.
  
  ubuntu-cdimage's workaround for this should be carried over, meaning
  live-build would simply generate the bootlogo archive as final step in
  lb_binary_syslinux.

  ubuntu-cdimage's workaround for this should be carried over, meaning

  There is also bug #1387705 which provides an obstacle to testing a
