Bug#1036780: hw-detect: detect and add bochs/cirrus to the initramfs



Control: clone -1 -2
Control: reassign -2 finish-install
Control: retitle -2 finish-install: detect and add bochs/cirrus to the initramfs

This last reference was meant to be #1036779 instead, which I've just
followed up to. Since there is no easy/quick fix for the reasons
mentioned there, I'm going to:
 - keep -1 against hw-detect for the long term (it still feels better
   to have hw-detect be knowledgeable about HW problems…), once we
   implement factorization.
 - implement -2 in finish-install, and make sure to avoid a double u-i
   run if we happen to have both LUKS and bochs/cirrus.

This means a single upload, keeping track of an extra variable within a
single finish-install script, and coming up with a better long term
solution later.


Cheers,
