Bug Description

The Kubuntu Mobile project excpects to build against universe. Whilst some pieces have been adjusted to enable this, several steps must be taken to fully accomplish it, as follows:

1: Create a Kubuntu Mobile seed containing only that appropriate for Kubuntu Mobile
2: Create a kubuntu-mobile-meta package referencing the new seed
3: Modify livecd-rootfs to generate kubuntu-mobile images from the metapackage rather than the task
3: Publish a trimmed kubuntu seed that no longer contains kubuntu-mobile
4: Update kubuntu-meta to use the trimmed seed
4: Modify cron.germinate in launchpad to use the new kubuntu-mobile seed to generate tasks
5: Once a kubuntu-mobile task is again available, modify livecd-rootfs to reference the task again

    Order is important, although some parallelisation is available at steps 3 and 4 (as noted in the numbering). Timing is also important: to be complete within maverick, the cron.germinate change must land to launchpad production on 6th September, which means submission to the review process somewhat earlier.

Alternate solution would be to MIR plasma-mobile: bug #626583 tracks this request. The MIR is likely safer, and requires less disruption to the rest of the archive. If applied, the patch in livecd-rootfs 1.148 should be reverted (as it provides no benefit)
