Title:
  do not require apt lists to be pre-installed

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  On the phone images the space required for the lists in
  /var/lib/apt/lists is excessive (around 70MB) for the device targets
  we have. The partition it currently resides in did not include this
  requirement when their size was specified.

  Removing those prevents one from using apport-cli to report bugs about
  packages that are from the -updates pocket. This is due to the fact
  that apport will not allow one to report bugs about packages which it
  cannot determine are from the official archive or a native origin PPA.

  Possible solutions include generating the list dynamically as part of
  the writable partition or including a smaller  simpler manifest.

  This report was inspired by bug #1471903
