Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

- Currently, every supported Ubuntu image since Noble contains the file 
/etc/cloud/build.info which provides information about the build_name and its 
corresponding serial. Ex:
    build_name: server
    serial: 20250821
- This file provides crucial information about the image which is used by 
subsequent processes. For example:
    CPC test automation uses this to check if the image is a pro or FIPS image
- Since this file was introduced in Buildd images in Plucky, Jammy images do 
not contain this file
- We would like to add this file into Jammy Buildd images to meet requirements 
for cloud images, including Buildd images
- The proposed plan involves changing the build file in livecd-rootfs to insert 
the /etc/cloud/build.info file at image build time
[ Test Plan ]

- Check if the current Jammy images contains the /etc/cloud/build.info file
- With this change, all newly generated Ubuntu images should contain the above 
mentioned file

[ Where problems could occur ]

- If any of the user’s process involves creating a folder with a similar
path, ex: if they have an automation which creates a folder cloud in
/etc
