[Bug 1855354] Re: lb chroot_archives eats apt preferences files

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

** Description changed:

  [impact]
  This breaks apt update in a trusty docker image that does not have ESM enabled.
  
  [test case]
- Build a livefs with image_format=plain, project=ubuntu-base. Unpack it, do the usual pre-chroot setup dance (copy resolv.conf, bind mount proc and dev) chroot into it and run apt update.

+ We have no seeded package that create apt preferences in their postinst yet, so let's just check the autopkgtest results.
  
  [regression potential]
  The change could conceivably leave apt preference files we want deleted in an image. But this seems very unlikely.
