[Bug 2037075] Re: Mantic minimal cloud images (ubuntu-cpc project) arm64 efibootmgr addition

[Steve Langasek]

Have questioned this approach on the MP.  I think this should be
reconciled in the other direction instead (don't install bootloader
recommends, we shouldn't care about efibootmgr preinstalled in minimal
images)

Title:
  Mantic minimal cloud images (ubuntu-cpc project) arm64 efibootmgr
  addition

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  With the migration from linux-kvm to linux-virtual/genreic for the
  mantic minimal images we can now start building arm64 minimal cloud
  images.

  When building initial test images we noticed that when comparing the
  amd64 minimized images and the arm64 images that the efibootmgr
  package was not installed in the arm64 images.

  This is because for amd64 it is installed as a recommends of shim-
  signed but for arm64 we are installing shim-signed `--no-install-
  recommends`.

  See https://git.launchpad.net/livecd-rootfs/tree/live-build/ubuntu-
  cpc/hooks.d/base/disk-image-uefi.binary#n115

  This bug is to track the alignment of amd64 and arm64 when installing
  shim-signed resulting in the adding of the efibootmgr package to the
  arm64 mantic+ minimized ubuntu-cpc cloud images.

  As part of this change we can also ensure that armhf image builds also
  install recommends
