Public bug reported:

$ file ~/Downloads/xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-initrd-generic
/home/xnox/Downloads/xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-initrd-generic: LZMA 
compressed data, streamed

Yet, in the base image I don't see that initramfs config options set
COMPRESS=lzma. Thus first boot is lzma, yet on package upgrades i guess
initrd would be regenerated as gzip...

Isn't the fact that all of our images use lzma and/or xz compression
means we should switch Ubuntu default to lzma and/or xz as well?
