Need to be able to generate images with -proposed in sources.list

[Colin Watson]

In order to effectively prepare Ubuntu point releases, we need livecd-rootfs to be able to optionally build images with -proposed in sources.list.

TEST CASE: Build image with PROPOSED=1 passed to 'lb config' (I've sent a deployment request to IS for the new BuildLiveCD, which will arrange for buildlive from nusakan to do this automatically if this new version of livecd-rootfs is installed in the livefs build chroot) and ensure that (a) it uses packages from -proposed during the build (check the build log) and (b) the resulting squashfs has a -proposed entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list.

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.68

---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.68) quantal; urgency=low

  * live-build/auto/config: Emit sources.list entries for -proposed if the
    environment variable PROPOSED is set (LP: #1019514).
  * BuildLiveCD: If the -p option was used, pass PROPOSED=1 to 'lb config'.

Hello Colin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/2.65.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I got webops to install this manually and ran a test build. http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/livefs-build-logs/precise/ubuntu/20120702.1/livecd-20120702.1-i386.out looks fine, and the resulting squashfs has a suitable proposed.list file.
