** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ It is common to use usb-creator to write new USB devices with a version of
Ubuntu which will then be used to upgrade or proceed with a new installation.
In some cases, when using a specific match of versions of Ubuntu with an
incompatible syslinux, the resulting USB device will show errors and not
display the splash menu to use to select between Live and Install mode, or
enabling extra options.
+ This patch fixes this incompatibility by always using the syslinux version
provided on the ISO image being used to write the USB device; which would
always be compatible with the system to install if it's available.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1- Use usb-creator to write a new USB device with a version of Ubuntu with a
different syslinux:
+ Precise: use 13.10 or later.
+ Trusty: use 13.04 or earlier.
+ Utopic: use 13.04 or earlier.
+ 2- Boot on the USB, verify that the splash screen is shown and that you can
get into a live session.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ This may yield cases in which the written USB device may be unbootable, due
to having written syslinux data to the boot sector incompatible with the
version of Ubuntu to be installed. USB devices may also be bootable but not
show the splash screen and menu.
