** Description changed:

+ ==== Begin SRU Template ===
+ [Impact] 
+ Squashfs images published by Ubuntu on http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com
+ end in '.squashfs' and on http://images.maas.io/ephemeral-v3/
+ the files are named 'squashfs'.
+ 
+ When you boot an initramfs with rooturl it would automatically
+ determine/assume that content is squashfs if it ended in
+ '.squash' or '.squashfs'.
+ 
+ The filter was just too strict and would thus not match
+   http://images.maas.io/ephemeral-v3/..../squashfs
+ 
+ That meant a usage would have to re-publish the url.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Base this off of test case in bug 1711760
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ Very low.
+ If a url does not match, rooturl would just complain and do nothing.
+ This just extends the things that match.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ This does seem to be low importance.  In fact it is, but its jsut part
+ of syncing cloud-initramfs-tools across xenial, artful, zesty with bionic.
+ 
+ ==== End SRU Template ===
+ 
  The code that automatically determines a squashfs url is just to strict.
  You can explicitly declare it as squash with:
-    root=squashfs:http://<>/...
+    root=squashfs:http://<>/...
  but currently the automatic matching requires it to end in .squashfs or 
.squash.
  
  This doesn't match urls like
-   <url>/squashfs
-   <url>/my-squash
+   <url>/squashfs
+   <url>/my-squash
  
  which are as obviously squashfs urls as others.
