[Bug 1914445] Re: Buildd tarball images do not include package manifests

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Looking at
https://launchpad.net/~xnox/+livefs/ubuntu/bionic/any/+build/259748

we can see that:

livecd.ubuntu-base.disk-linux-virtual.img (272.1 MiB)
livecd.ubuntu-base.disk-linux-virtual.manifest (8.0 KiB)
livecd.ubuntu-base.ext4 (414.0 MiB)
livecd.ubuntu-base.initrd-generic (13.7 MiB)
livecd.ubuntu-base.lxd.manifest (4.4 KiB)
livecd.ubuntu-base.lxd.tar.gz (118.9 MiB)
livecd.ubuntu-base.manifest (4.9 KiB)
livecd.ubuntu-base.rootfs.manifest (4.4 KiB)
livecd.ubuntu-base.rootfs.tar.gz (119.7 MiB)
livecd.ubuntu-base.vmlinuz-generic (8.0 MiB)

.manifest files got produced, and split initrd-generic and vmzlinuz-
generic were produced too.

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
