[live-usb-persistent] Booting fails after kernel update in 12.04.2, 13.04, and 14.04.2

[linuxball]

When a 64-bit Lubuntu 14.04.2 persistent Live system on an USB flash drive (LiveUsbPendrivePersistent) is upgraded so that a new kernel is installed then the next (re)boot will fail. The user is dropped to the busybox shell prompt of the initial RAM file system:

  BusyBox 1.21.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.21.0-1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
  Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

  (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system

CAUSE:
I found out that newer 64-bit Ubuntu live file systems use casper/vmlinuz.efi for booting (instead of casper/vmlinuz). However, casper copies the updated kernel image still as casper/vmlinuz. Thus the next system (re)start will boot the old casper/vmlinuz.efi along with the casper/initrd.lz for the newer updated kernel. This results in the above reported boot failure.

HOW TO REPRODUCE:
* Download iso image http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04.2/release/lubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso
* Install it on USB flash drive using Startup Disk Creator, choose documents and settings will be
   "Stored in reserved extra space" with e.g. 4GB
* Boot from live system
* Open a terminal and execute "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade"
* Reboot after upgrading has finished

WORK AROUND:
* Everytime after a new kernel has been installed execute "sudo mv /cdrom/casper/vmlinuz /cdrom/casper/vmlinuz.efi"
