Bug#774378: Ubuntu firmware inclusion
Ok, I'm totally on board with Ubuntu needing to fix their layout. I
posted in their mailing lists about it to make sure they are aware of
the problem as it relates to live-build. Forgot to post the link here,
so here it is:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mirrors/2015-January/000351.html
I did also post it to their archive mailing list, but it's not appeared
there (yet).
I was considering building a patch on top of my bug #718225 solution
(which I'll be posting within the hour btw), but it'd be somewhat large,
and Ubuntu building is already broken as it is (#774396 & #774391). With
my solution in place, Ubuntu building will definitely be impossible
until either Ubuntu changes their layout, or we build a patch.
