SRU 0.11 tracking bug

[Barry Warsaw]

New SRU tracking bug (with exception) for ubuntu-image 0.11 in Yakkety and Xenial.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuImageUpdates

[Impact]

ubuntu-image 0.11 fixes a problem related to the sorting of structures in a volume. Structure elements are now sorted by their offset order, even if that offset is implicit. (LP: #1631423). Several other issues are also fixed.

[Test Case]

Create an image without --cloud-init. Mount the file system and ensure that there's no var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/meta-data file.

Create an image with --cloud-init. Mount the file system and ensure that the var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/meta-data file exists. The contents of the file should be `instance-id: nocloud-static`.

[Regression Potential]

When --cloud-init is given, var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/meta-data is not written, or the cloud-init option value is not copied to var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/user-data

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-image - 0.11+16.04ubuntu1

---------------
ubuntu-image (0.11+16.04ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * SRU tracking bug LP: #1639381
  * Sort the structures in a volume by their offset, even if the offset is
    defined implicitly (i.e. not present in the gadget.yaml). Also, check
    for any structure conflicts and raise a ValueError in that case.
    (LP:1631423)
  * offset-write arguments will only accept 32 bit integers. (LP:1617443)
  * Add a better manpage. (LP:1638386)
  * Tracebacks in the `snap prepare-image` command are suppressed unless
    --debug is given. However, the failure is still logged. (LP:1621445)
  * Handle -but ignore- the gadget.yaml `defaults` section. (LP:1632449)
  * Structure ids are disallowed on mbr volumes. (LP:1632724)
  * The package can still be built if python3-debian is not available.
