Bug Description

Cloud images created from the 'ubuntu-cpc' project use lzma initramfs compression for the initial initramfs shipped in the image; this is the default for livecd-rootfs. When a user updates the initramfs (or installs a new kernel) on a running instance created from a cloud image they will get gzip compression, which is the default shipped in initramfs-tools.

The compression method used to create the initramfs in the initial cloud image should match the compression menthod used when the end-user creates/updates an initramfs.
