Verification -- build an image with a 6.2 kernel, and ensure that snap preseed operates as expected.

note: the package in proposed has 2 commits related to snap preseeding -- the one related to this Bug, and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/2024639 . Can't really separate them fully, so i'll comment on both bugs with this specific test case

Test case and instructions

1. downloaded deb-source of proposed-livecd-rootfs
    1a. lxc launch ubuntu:j
    1b. apt update && apt install dpkg-dev (to download the deb source)
    1c. enable `proposed` in sources.list
    1d. sudo apt-get source livecd-rootfs=2.765.24
    1e. exit container and lxc file pull source
2. using `ubuntu-bartender` from `ubuntu-old-fashioned`, run a build that requires the 6.2 kernel and does snap preseeding
    2a. in this case, built an project=ubuntu-cpc image-target=gce
        * NOTE: This requires cpc secret sauce to build. Unfortunately, there aren't any images in non-secret-sauce that use the HWE kernel.
3. Check for copying / mounting 6.2 kernel features in the code. log snippet:

4. register the image in GCE
    4a. push resultant builds tar.gz to a bucket
    4b. register an image by pointing to the file in the bucket
        * NOTE: this elides a few details. I used a Canonical internal only tool to speed this up.
5. boot the image as an instance and check kernel and snap debug preseeding

john.chittum@test-snap-preseed-jammy-62:~$ sudo snap debug seeding

preseeded:         true

this validates that the 6.2 kernel apparmor info was mounted, and snap preseeding done with the proper set of features and capabilities.
