SRU 1.0 tracking bug

[Barry Warsaw]

New SRU tracking bug (with exception) for ubuntu-image 1.0 in Yakkety and Xenial.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuImageUpdates

[Impact]

ubuntu-image 1.0 fixes some bugs and pays down some technical debt. It represents the final gold release for the Zesty cycle, SRU'd back into X and Y. This release fixes some bogus warnings on the size of the mbr partition, it reverts an archive-wide global breakage for flake8, and it adds a new command line option --image-file-list. The snap version is now classic confinement.

[Test Case]

Create an image using the official amd64 model assertion. Ensure that the resulting image boots to 'press enter to configure' phase.

[Regression Potential]

* ubuntu-image may not produce a bootable image

Please add some details regarding the steps you took to verify this per Robie's to ubuntu-devel regarding "SRU quality and preventing regressions".

The manual tests are described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuImageUpdates

With u-i 1.0 we have an autopkgtest test that performs an amd64 boot test. This is essentially equivalent (and therefore redundant) with the manual boot tests for SRU. Still, it's important to continue to manually boot test the SRUs to ensure that the autopkgtests themselves aren't buggy in some way.

Therefor the manual tests are:

* ubuntu-image -d pc-amd64.assertion
* qemu-system-x86_64 pc.img

Then run through the configuration steps on the running image and try to ssh to the image.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-image - 1.0+16.10ubuntu1

---------------
ubuntu-image (1.0+16.10ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * SRU tracking number LP: #1672755
  * Exit with a console message instead of crashing when the contents of a
    partition does not fit within the specified size. (LP:1666580)
  * Don't install an unusable global flake8 extension. (LP:1631156)
  * Fix the autopkgtests to use --output-dir instead of the obsolete
    --output command line switch. (LP:1667140)
  * Added ``--image-file-list`` command line argument to record the paths
    of all the disk image files written.
  * Added an autopkgtest to prove that generated images can be
    successfully booted (on amd64 only). (LP:1625732)
  * Add an autopkgtest for ensuring each PR has a changelog entry and a bug
    linked to it. (LP:1655671)
  * Make ubuntu-image a classic confinement snap. (LP:1638645)
