Hi,
I came across this old bug while doing some clearance.
Xenial reached EOSS (End of Standard Support) so I'm afraid it can't be
fixed. It is unfortunate that we were unable to resolve this defect,
however, there appears to be no further action possible at this time
because it's not a security bug. We are sorry that we do not always have
the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have
been many changes in Ubuntu since the time you reported the bug and your
problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.
As far as I could read in the thread, after a lot of research work
(great @tj, thankyou!) and after some doubt as to whether it was the
base installer or the live-installer that was the culprit here, the last
suggestion was about live-installer. As it's already marked as
"Incomplete" at the time I'm writing this, I'm going to mark
"Incomplete" as well with respect to base-installer and initramfs-tools.
If you consider it's happening still on Bionic or Focal (since Focal is
lat time *-installer are present on the series) and you have more
information that can shed light on this issue, please feel free to
comment and to add it and mark again this bug as "New".
** Changed in: base-installer (Ubuntu Bionic)
Status: New => Incomplete
** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu Bionic)
Status: New => Incomplete
