This is a failure of jasper-initramfs to update the enabled software-
sources at install time.  Given that no new images are being produced,
fixing this in jasper is insufficient to help maverick users.  As a
result, the following strategy shall be employed.

1) jasper-initramfs shall be updated to update the software-sources during the first-boot experience for natty
2) this will be listed as a required feature for the planned rewrite of jasper-initramfs
3) Some *other* package needs to get a stable-release-update in order to enable the software sources OR every user will need to be asked to do so manually.

For item 3, the suggestion is to use ubuntu-netbook-efl-default-settings
as this is only enabled by default for armel Ubuntu Netbook images, and
two of the three images are affected by this bug, therefore the
potential for regression for other users is minimised.  Such regression
potential may be further minimised by checking the architecture and
subarchitecture of the updating platform in the updated postinst script
prior to asking for universe and multiverse to be enabled in software-
sources, so that only subarchitectures for which images were built with
the buggy jasper-initramfs are updated.

Note that this only addresses the Ubuntu Netbook armel images: it may be
that other target packages must be selected to address any other
flavours that may have issues.

Bug description:
After installing the preinstalled maverick image for OMAP4, universe & multiverse are not enabled in the sources.list.

This makes installing ubuntu-omap4-extras a bit more difficult due to dependencies on multiverse/universe packages (e.g. faac, gstreamer...)
