[Bug 961166] Re: lb_binary_disk doesn't check compression of the initramfs

[Shih-Yuan Lee]

** Description changed:

- When LB_INITRAMFS="casper", lb_binary_disk assumes initrd is compressed
- with gzip. Since it can be lzma and bzip2, build process will fail if
- one of those two compression methods are used. This is fixed upstream by
- commits 1940 and 2105. Patch is attached.
