We use xorriso in place of genisoimage for Ubuntu ISO generation. I'm actually not sure why genisoimage is a dependency of livecd-rootfs, since I don't believe we have any ISOs as output of livecd-rootfs itself. The ubuntu-meta dependency is being dropped; the seed change has already been merged, and a new ubuntu-desktop is waiting in hirsute-proposed. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
