Public bug reported:
Ubuntu iso images bundle the f2fs driver in initrd since 20.04, but
casper does not recognize f2fs as a supported fs even in 24.04. Hence,
the images cant loop-boot from f2fs partitions.
A 2-lines change is all that's required since 20.04 (casper-helpers
since 22.04, previously this code was in lupin-helpers)

With some efforts (copy f2fs and crc32 modules from the squashed filesystem
into the initrd) it works down to 18.04 live server and 15.10 desktop.
With such patch it works in 14.04.3 .. 14.04.6 desktop as well
