Bug Description
[Impact]
We want to be able to build iso installer images that would install Ubuntu Core Desktop to target device. This is a completely new image and product, but it's important to get building as early as possible.
The first core series that we want to support here is 24. However, due to issues with the ubuntu-core-desktop installer snap, the snap does not work on noble (which would be the best place to build the images from). However, since Ubuntu Core Desktop is a separate entity outside of the archive, it actually does not matter which Ubuntu series the 'installer' part is. We can install Ubuntu Core Desktop 24 with no problems from a mantic installer.
And this is what we want to do: backport the ubuntu-core-desktop build changes to mantic and, for now, use it for building the mantic images. We can switch to noble once noble works with the snap again.
[Test Case]
Run an image build on cdimage of ubuntu-core-desktop and see that the image builds and boots into the installer.
[Regression Potential]
Since some code-paths needed to be changes, there is a very low risk of other ubuntu-image based builds failing. So a re-check of all ubuntu-image based images would be recommended.
