Title:
  Germinate cannot seed a package from "update" pocket

Status in germinate package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In LTSes some packages are in universe in the release pocket and in
  main in the update pocket.

  For example in focal:

  $ rmadison -s focal,focal-updates realmd adcli
   realmd | 0.16.3-3               | focal/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
   realmd | 0.16.3-3               | focal-updates  | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
   adcli  | 0.9.0-1                | focal/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
   adcli  | 0.9.0-1                | focal-updates  | i386
   adcli  | 0.9.0-1ubuntu0.20.04.1 | focal-updates  | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x

  When these packages are seeded but they have no reverse dependencies,
  for instances seeded in the live seed and only main and restricted are
  considered (for Ubuntu) then these packages ignored (unknown) by
  germinate and not added to the live session.

  From livecd-rootfs code there doesn't seem to be any option to pass
  the component to be considered by germinate:

  in auto/config:
   (cd config/germinate-output && germinate --no-rdepends --no-installer \
                  -S $SEEDMIRROR -m $MIRROR -d $SUITE -s $SEED \
                  ${COMPONENTS:+-c "$COMPONENTS"} -a $ARCH)
