Bug Description

=== Begin SRU Template ===
[Impact]
The key change is that the user agent string as of Bionic now
contains the contents of systemd-detect-virt and /etc/cloud/build.info.
In aggregate, this gives us important usage data to detect improvements
and regressions in Ubuntu boot times.

[Test Case]
Launch a privileged container with:

1. lxc launch ubuntu-daily:xenial -c security.privileged=true x1-priv
2. lxc exec x1-priv -- apt update && apt -y install pollen

Run a local pollen server and have the pollinate (client) connect with that via:

3. lxc exec x1-priv -- pollinate -r --insecure -s https://localhost

Then check in /var/log/syslog for the client user-agent string. On systems without the updated pollinate client, the USER_AGENT value does not include virt:

root@x1-priv:~# grep pollen /var/log/syslog | grep -c virt
0
root@x1-priv:~#

After upgrading to the newer client, virt is now present in the pollen entries:

root@x1-priv:~# grep pollen /var/log/syslog | grep -c virt
2
root@x1-priv:~#

[Regression Potential]
The script runs with 'set -e', that means that the 'pollinate' script
will exit failure if either of the commands or files above fail. These
scenarios seem unlikely, especially in Ubuntu environments.

=== End SRU Template ===

I'd suggest modifying the test-case to skip the pollen side, the client we want to SRU will print the agent string it generates:

Completed verification by replicating the testing smoser did with bionic, but on baremetal and on an EC2 instance. Trusty testing did not test the server, only tested that the user-agent string did not regress.

Marking verification-done.
