+Subject: Revert of initramfs package removal in KVM image
+
+Description:
+No packages marked for auto-removal should be present in 
+a published cloud image.
+
+The current kvm binary hook in livecd-rootfs removes the 
+packages `initramfs-tools` and `busybox-initramfs`. This 
+results in many packages being marked for auto-removal. 
+These packages are still required in the image and should not 
+be marked for auto-removal.
+
+The removal of initramfs-tools and busybox-initramfs was to avoid the
+generation of initramfs in images that should boot initramfsless.
+
+This requirement is obsolete now because the initramfsless boot handling
+is now handled via setting GRUB_FORCE_PARTUUID in 
+/etc/default/grub.d/40-force-partuuid.cfg.
