Bug Description
When performing installation audits, I noticed on the image from 2014-04-07 the following after a livecd install:
$ ls -l /var/lib/
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 29759 Apr 8 09:10 Ubuntu%
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Apr 8 09:10 Ubuntu%
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1199 Apr 8 09:10 Ubuntu%
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Apr 8 09:10 Ubuntu%
This also happens on the server install from the same date:
$ ls -l /var/lib/
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1702199 Apr 8 09:09 Ubuntu-
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Apr 8 09:09 Ubuntu-
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Apr 8 09:09 Ubuntu-
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Apr 8 09:09 Ubuntu-
I installed the image from 2014-04-07, installed today and noticed the above.

is this reproducible with apt-cdrom and inserting an ISO into the drive post-install, or is it only reproduced when installing from the ISO?
