You just need to enable ssh, which is trivial. You do need a terminal to
do that, but no developer mode. I cannot run "sudo apt-get update"
manually because I don't wish to remount read-write. I'm running my
phone in production and want to file bugs for problems as such.

The fraction of users who are prepared to file bugs are useful because
they cause improvements for all users. Please don't cause a fix for this
to be delayed just because it could be done better but leaving it broken
in the meantime. If the fix is workable, we should fix it now.

Title:
  -updates, -security missing from apt lists

Status in live-build package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  As indicated by Robie in bug 1467830 vivid-updates is missing from
  /var/lib/apt/lists on the phablet images for Ubuntu 15.04. This
  prevents one from using apport-cli to report bugs about packages that
  are from the -updates pocket. This is due to the fact that apport will
  not allow one to report bugs about packages which it cannot determine
  are from the official archive or a native origin PPA.
