[Bug 1863145] Re: arm64 cloud image contains flash-kernel which leads to apt errors on upgrade

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

in livecd-rootfs:

ubuntu-cpc)
   case $ARCH in
        armhf)
              KERNEL_FLAVOURS=generic-lpae
              add_package install flash-kernel
              ;;
        arm64)
              add_package install flash-kernel
              ;;
   esac

So CPC team should stop including flash-kernel (which is a bootloader) in all squashfs, and only install it images where you install bootloaders.
Just like grub, it shouldn't be in the LXD image.
