Title:
  Buildd tarball images do not include package manifests

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * There are currently no manifests being produced for buildd tarballs
  in bionic, focal, and groovy.

   * Manifests _are_ being produced for the buildd tarballs in Hirsute
  and Xenial (the latter as part of recent longer-term work to produce
  bootable buildd images in Xenial)

   * There is a "base.manifest" that is produced from the buildd
  subproject, but it does not reflect the contents of any of the buildd
  image artifacts produced.

  [Test Case]

   * build the buildd subproject
   * verify that the lxd and rootfs manifests are produced
   * verify that the packages listed in the manifests reflect the respective contents of each image

  [Where problems could occur]

   * The manifests should be created from the same chroot that the
  tarball images are created from, in order to capture the correct
  package contents

  [Other Info]

   * Fixing this will only require cherry-picking two commits from
  ubuntu/master
