Title: Generate /etc/casper.conf when building a livefs instead of having casper guess the product name at boot time Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “livecd-rootfs” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Today's casper (1.295) now uses the product name as the username and hostname, instead of the hardcoded "ubuntu" we used to have everywhere. It's doing that by parsing .disk/info at boot time and changing its environment to what it finds in there. This works fine except that it's then non-trivial for something running in the live environment to know what hostname and username ended up using (well, hostname is pretty easy :)). Instead, it'd be better to have /etc/casper.conf in the livefs contain the right HOST and USERNAME, these will then be used by casper (deprecating the code I added today) and by software running in the live environment like ubiquity (through its ubiquity.casper module).
