Again in ubuntu-server builds, configure LAYERFS_PATH in the kernel layer and ensure the initrd is freshly regenerated in that layer. LAYERFS_PATH was being set to the layer below the kernel layer, which meant that the live session did not get access to all the modules in the case that the kernel had not been installed in the base layer, which in turn means that installs fail. (LP: #2100148)

The ubuntu-core-installer image is an installer that installs ubuntu

auto/config: preserve germinate-output directory when removing config

Germinate doesn't take very long at all to run but downloading the

saver.

The code that invokes germinate already checked if the output was
already there but it was unconditionally deleted by the time control got
to that point.
