Public bug reported:

squashfs-tools upstream hasn't changed in a while but a number of
bugfixes are applied through packaging in Debian and Ubuntu.

The bionic and cosmic versions right now are identical but xenial is
missing a few fixes which is a problem for the LXD snap among other
things.

Looking at debian/series/patches, the fixes currently missing in the xenial version are:
 - 0007-fix-2GB-limit-in-mksquashfs.patch
 - 0008-preserve_file_capabilities.patch

I'll attach test cases for both of those below and then will prepare an
SRU that effectively makes the source package identical to what we have
in bionic, minus the different changelog.

This should be pretty safe considering both Ubuntu and Debian have been
shipping those two patches for a while and the fs caps one is going to
be pretty important moving forward as we're discussing having Ubuntu
ship with fscaps by default.
