[Bug 2048962] Re: Icon cache and other appstream data are on the ISO because of live-build.

[wontfix]

** Description changed:

  Steps to reproduce
  Create VM with networking off.
  Boot Ubuntu ISO in Live testing mode.
  
- du -h /var/lib/swcatalog
- ls -a /var/lib/apt/lists
- du -h /var/lib/apt/lists
+ ls -a /var/lib/apt/lists/
+ du -h /var/lib/apt/lists/
+ du -h /var/lib/swcatalog/
+ du -h /var/cache/swcatalog/cache/
  
  The amount is larger than I expected when you look at what wouldn't be
  installed from a non-live ISO due to live-build not cleaning up after
  appstream. This also glitches the snap store which falls back to
  appstream icons if they exist. On first run you can sometimes see them
  shifting around and glitching the UI as you work through the app on poor
  WiFi or cellular connections.
  
  Debian has the same behavior for live ISOs but does not for the normal
  large ISOs.
