This patch adds a new environment variable to the ubuntu-minimal element called DIB_UBUNTU_KERNEL that allows you to specify the kernel meta package that will be using to install the kernel inside the image. It supports "linux-image-generic" (The default), "linux-image-kvm", and "linux-image-virtual". This allows building images that are smaller in size (~200MB smaller qcow2) that have only the kernel modules necessary for virtual machines. Change-Id: I8ce65e1d357d15e8ed8995ad1dcaea02bbd1986f |

ubuntu-minimal
The ubuntu-minimal element uses debootstrap for
generating a minimal image. In contrast the ubuntu element
uses the cloud-image as the initial base.
By default this element creates the latest LTS release. The exact
setting can be found in the element's environment.d
directory in the variable DIB_RELEASE. If a different
release of Ubuntu should be created, the variable
DIB_RELEASE can be set appropriately.
Note that this element installs systemd-sysv as the init
system for 18.04+.
