It is a bug to change content in backwards incompatible ways. livecd-
rootfs produced an artifact that is indexed with known-content. A
change broke consumers of that content. Thats a regression.
Pretending otherwise is wasting both of our time.
I pointed at one known consumer (owned by the same team that produces
the content) that will be affected by this backwards incompatible
change. There are undoubtedly others. Software *does* exist outside of
the Ubuntu archive, and even outside of launchpad. Often times that
software builds on top of Ubuntu. We generally consider that a *good*
thing. It is not a good thing when Ubuntu breaks that other software
and gives a lame excuse.
I'll ask again... Why not just add a new file that has the content you want?
Then you don't break existing users *and* you have the content you want.
