** Description changed:

+ 
+ For 20.04.0 d-i is changing from /images/ to /legacy-images/ in it's 
directory structure.
+ 
+ For 20.04.1+ it will not exist at all.
+ 
+ For all Ubuntu releases virt-install should learn how to use cloud-
+ images from https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/ which are preinstalled
+ cloud-init enabled qcow2 images, with unpacked kernels. Allowing to
+ change kernel cmdline parameters and boot in-place. Which is the best &
+ default Ubuntu experience on VMs.

  Description/Reproduction:
  Start virt-install with the following options:
  
  virt-install \
  --name ubuntu20-guest1 \
  --memory 4096 \
  --vcpus 4 \
  --disk "size=4" \
  --location 
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x \
- --network "network=default" 
+ --network "network=default"
  
  Error:
  ERROR    Error validating install location: Could not find an installable 
distribution at 
'http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x'
  
  The location must be the root directory of an install tree.
  See virt-install man page for various distro examples.

- Looking at previous releases I would guess it expects an "images" directory 
instead of the new "classic-images" directory. I'm aware of the workaround to 
specify kernel/initramfs directly but that shouldn't be a solution.
