[Bug 1921862] Re: Call germinate with -updates

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Thanks for your advice. As a workaround we'll try to make the packages a
dependency of Ubiquity (or ubiquity-gtk since the UI only exist for this
UI)

Title:
  Call germinate with -updates

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Focal:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In auto/config germinate is called with the release pocket only:
   (cd config/germinate-output && germinate --no-rdepends --no-installer \
                  -S $SEEDMIRROR -m $MIRROR -d $SUITE -s $SEED \
                  ${COMPONENTS:+-c "$COMPONENTS"} -a $ARCH)

  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 are ignored (unknown) by
  germinate and not added to the live session.

  Germinate should be called with "-d ${SUITE},${SUITE}-updates" to consider both pockets.
