A problem with this change is that there are no syslinux theme packages
past Xenial. So, when running on anything after, ubuntu-defaults-image
fails to find a package and aborts.

I'd keep the Recommends:, as that will ensure the right package is
installed if target and host release are the same. Otherwise we'd have
to recommend an ever-growing list of -precise, -quantal, etc. packages.
Thanks for the followup! I'll merge this.

Title:
building an older release fails due to missing a
attached branch tries to install a syslinux theme of $SUITE specified with
--release.
if the package does not exist (--release lucid on a quantal host), just exit
with apt-get error before stating a build.
E: Unable to locate package syslinux-themes-ubuntu-lucid
** Changed in:
Nice catch, thanks! But shouldn't we _only_ install syslinux-themes-
ubuntu-$SUITE, and not syslinux-themes-ubuntu in addition? We'd get two
themes installed, and it's not clear which one gets picked then
(presumably the newest on,e, as this needs to work for upgrades, too).
** Changed in:
I think you're right, syslinux-themes-ubuntu is not needed explicitly,
but currently syslinux-themes-ubuntu is recommended by ubuntu-defaults-
builder package. so changing recommends to syslinux-themes-ubuntu-
quantal is appropriate?
syslinux theme is selected in
