Looking at the 22 bugs that I mentioned the vast majority have 'Command
line' information in dmesg that references a cdrom for example:

bug-991520/Dmesg.txt:[    0.000000] Command line:
file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz
quiet splash -- maybe-ubiquity

which leads me to believe they had chroot'ed into their Ubuntu system to
repair a failed upgrade.  There are also a few with 'rescue/enable=true'
in the Command line, which is also likely a situation where people
chroot'ed.

So I think the best thing to do is just block these package installation
failures.
