Comment 9 for bug 1212434

Gavin,
  Your response shows misunderstanding.
  There are 2 things that maas downloads:
    maas-import-pxe-files:
      This downloads d-i (debian-installer) initramfs and kernels from ports.archive.ubuntu.com and archive.ubuntu.com.
    maas-import-ephemerals
      This downloads ephemeral images (which include a kernel and initramfs) from maas.ubuntu.com/images.

The thing that is broken here is 'maas-import-pxe-files'.
The thing that Tycho's work fixes/improves is 'maas-import-ephemerals'.

My goal was to make 'maas-import-pxe-files' use simplestreams data. Already "In progress" is making maas-import-ephemerals use simplestreams data.
