Title:
  [SRU] Place cloud-init seed on boot partition for desktop images

Status in ubuntu-raspi-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-raspi-settings source package in Noble:
  New

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu Desktop for Raspberry Pi images include cloud-init since
  noble. The cloud-init seed is redirected to the (FAT formatted) boot
  partition on the Ubuntu Server for Raspberry Pi images, and for
  consistency and ease of use, this should be replicated for the desktop
  images too.

  We could add 99-fake-cloud.cfg to ubuntu-raspi-settings-desktop as
  well as ubuntu-raspi-settings-server (where it currently resides)
  which would allow us to remove it again in future, if that becomes
  necessary. However, that would necessarily create a conflict between
  both packages and it's conceivable that some may wish to install both
  (for desktop-on-server type installs). Therefore it is probably best
  to simply move 99-fake-cloud.cfg over to the common ubuntu-raspi-
  settings package, and add Breaks/Replaces to ensure the configuration
  is moved appropriately by dpkg.

  Note to self: the gadget will need updating to include the cloud-init
  seed on the boot partition of the desktop images. However, the seed
  must be *different* (don't auto-create users), and must not include
  network-config (as the desktop settings include a network-manager
  override).
