Today's casper (1.295) now uses the product name as the username and
hostname, instead of the hardcoded "ubuntu" we used to have everywhere.
It's doing that by parsing .disk/info at boot time and changing its environment
to what it finds in there.
This works fine except that it's then non-trivial for something running in the
live environment to know what hostname and username ended up using (well,
hostname is pretty easy :)).
Instead, it'd be better to have /etc/casper.conf in the livefs contain
the right HOST and USERNAME, these will then be used by casper
(deprecating the code I added today) and by software running in the live
environment like ubiquity (through its ubiquity.casper module).
** Affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

Generate /etc/casper.conf when building a livefs instead of having casper guess
the product name at boot time
