Bug Description
Some cleanup should be done on the contents of /.disk/:
The netboot iso doesn't contain a /.disk/ at all; it'd be useful for it to contain a /.disk/info similar to other isos at a minimum so that the build version can be identified for troubleshooting at minimal expense in iso size expansion.
All other isos contain a useful /.disk/info; however the desktop and addon isos do not contain a /.disk/cd_type; this is less useful but should probably be made to consistently exist across all isos or dropped entirely. For reference, the current alternate and server cd images contain "full_cd/single" and the dvd images contain "dvd/single" in /.disk/info (with the exception of ubuntustudio, which is dvd sized but treated as an alternate cd).
I haven't looked at the ubuntu-mobile or ubuntu-mid images to see what they contain.

Bear in mind that all of this stuff is parsed by the installer; it's not just for human consumption. Changes need to be made with great care.
