I am pre-promoting these packages in order to unblock migration of
livecd-rootfs and automated image building for artful.

** Description changed:

  livecd-rootfs now depends on ubuntu-image, which therefore should be
  promoted to main.
  
  ubuntu-image is maintained by the Ubuntu Foundations team as upstream.
  The package already has an SRU exception,
  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuImageUpdates>, and is kept in sync across
  stable releases from 16.04 on as well as being available as a snap.
  
  autopkgtests and upstream CI are in place for this package.
  
  foundations-bugs is subscribed to the package and there is no CVE
  history.  The software interacts with local files as a non-privileged
  user and presents a narrow security attack surface.  It delegates
  security-sensitive operations (cryptographic verification, etc) to 'snap
  prepare-image' from the snapd package, already in main.
+ 
+ ubuntu-image also pulls in pyparted as a dependency. pyparted is a thin
+ wrapper around libparted, already in main.  It is in sync with Debian
+ from 14.04 on and has no open bug reports in Debian; the only bug
+ reports open in Ubuntu are those reported by the ubuntu-image team.
+ Upstream project: https://github.com/rhinstaller/pyparted no major
+ issues open upstream.
+ 
+ No security issues reported at http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-
+ bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=pyparted or http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-
+ security/cve/universe.html
