Title:
  The impish-live-server images fail to boot to subiquity

Status in subiquity:
  Invalid
Status in Ubuntu CD Images:
  Invalid
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Daily ISOs were not available between 2021-06-17 and 2021-06-17 due to
  changes related to the switch to zstd for the initrd compression
  (IIUC).

  On 2021-06-23 the impish-live-server ISOs were built again, but fail
  to boot to subiquity, showing the issue text (Ubuntu Impish Indri
  (development branch) \n \l) in a loop, with no login prompt. This
  happens on all the archs. My impression is that subiquity fails to
  start for some reason, and the system enters a retry loop.

  This is easy to reproduce:

  1. Download the latest impish-live-server-amd64.iso
  2. Try to install a VM using it (via virt-install or bare kvm)
