Regression potential section updated. ** Description changed:
- [Impact] * Minimized images have their disk footprint further reduced with these changes. * Using minimal images can save bandwidth and system resources and we would like to make those improvements available for Xenial users, especially since most if not all of our minimized images users care mostly about LTS releases. [Test Case] * No new autopkgtest was added, however, an autopkgtest (minimized) was previously added to test building minimized images. The test logs show the generated image sizes for ubuntu-cpc images with and without minimization and the minimized images have to be smaller. [Regression Potential] - * The changes should not affect images which are not minimized. The + * If images rely on the presence of a populated /var/cache/apt, that + functionality could now break (no such image is known). + * If images rely on /var/cache/debconf/*-old or /var/lib/dpkg/*-old files to + be present, that functionality cloud now break (no such image is known). + * The package changes should not affect images which are not minimized.
